Fair Trade: Path to Peace and Sustainable Communities

A delegation of four Ugandan coffee farmers will visit Chicago to share the story of their efforts to build peace through fair trade.
 These farmers—representatives of the interfaith Peace Kawomera Cooperative—will share the story of their struggle to overcome a history of religious conflict by uniting in a common effort to earn a fair price for their coffee.
The delegation will include Sinina Namudosi (Muslim), Joab Jonadab Keki (Jewish), Margret Buhinizi (Catholic), and Samuel Ngugo (Anglican), and will be joined by Peace Kawomera’s fair trade buyer, importer, and long-term business partner, Thanksgiving Coffee Co.

Come learn about how fair trade is helping to build peace among people of different faiths, and about the grassroots interfaith mobilization taking place across the United States in support these remarkable farmers.
