Coffee that lifts communities and protects the land
Gorilla Summit Coffee is a social enterprise. Every bag of specialty coffee supports better prices for farmers and real community projects in the highlands of southwest Uganda. Our work aligns with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We pay significantly above local market rates so farming families earn a living wage and can invest in their future.
Premiums from specialty coffee help fund health initiatives and better living conditions in the communities we work with.
Support for schools and higher education — including pathways to accredited university — so the next generation has more opportunities.
Community projects funded by specialty coffee premiums include clean well water so families have safe drinking water close to home.
We pay significantly higher prices than traditional middlemen. This allows farming families to earn a living wage and invest in their children’s future.
Hands-on training in selective harvesting and processing turns ordinary coffee into specialty coffee that commands better prices.
Education support, health initiatives and infrastructure that benefit entire villages around Kanungu, Kisoro and Bwindi.
Working near Bwindi and the Virungas, we help demonstrate that thriving coffee communities can coexist with mountain gorilla habitat.
