Let’s meet Sheila Ampumuza, testimonial of the Lavazza Foundation project in East - Central Africa.
Sheila Ampumuza
I’m Sheila Ampumuza, the Country Director of SAWA World, an NGO that addresses serious problems caused by extreme poverty. In Uganda, I am one of the 380 youth who in 2020 alone benefited from financial support and specific training given by the Lavazza Foundation to support my entrepreneurial idea. The Foundation also supports ICP (International Coffee Partners) training sessions on innovative agricultural techniques through the ''farmer field schools'' approach, which already reached almost 14,000 families.
A coffee you can trust. Lavazza ¡Tierra! certifications
Rainforest alliance
The plantations that receive the RFA certification
are required to comply with standards for
sustainable agriculture that promote
environmental responsibility, social equity and
economic sustainability.
Organic
The organic certification grants that a coffee has
been harvested according to the production
processes described by the European standards
Hand-picked
High-quality coffee: the hand picking allows you to
select only the ripest coffee cherries, which fully
enhance the organoleptic characteristics of the blend
Responsible pack
¡Tierra! for Africa pack is designed to help recyclability and is made of homogeneous plastic (PP/PE)
