Profits in September

September was our best month yet supplying almost half a tonne of coffee to businesses across the UK. This allowed us to fund thirteen teachers which brought a lot of happiness to the school.

Due to the weak pound and rising prices we have had to make some updates to the website and delivery charges. We’re now passing on the delivery cost but capping it at £2.80 which ensures we can maintain reasonable margins and send as much money as possible to Uganda.

We are looking forward to sending you updates when we visit Uganda in a couple of weeks. We will also be bringing back some great Christmas gift options! Thank you again for your support and love of coffee, Hannah

Kickstart's purpose

  • Education

    To ensure that disadvantaged children in the local community have an education and are able to fullfil their hopes and dreams. We support The Early Learning School in Entebbe, Uganda. The school is home to 160 children from 3-13 years.

  • Funding teachers

    We value teachers. Through funding their monthly salaries the children at The Early Learning School are able to attend school without paying fees.

  • Food bundles

    As part of the community project we provide weekly food bundles to ensure the children and single mothers eat healthy and nutritious food. The food is grown on a farm near Kampala which is linked to the school.

Tree planting in Uganda

We plant Matoke (planain) plants in Uganda to provide food for the local community as well as off setting our emissions.

As well as Makoke plants we also plant orange, mango and avacardo trees.

Providing food to the local community is an important part of our project and ensure that the children come to school with a full tummy.
