Celebrating Uganda’s coffee industry and rural women

Hosted by Inspire Africa Group in partnership with Uganda’s First Lady, Janet Kataha Museveni, the Coffee Marathon Concert is more than just a musical extravaganza. 

Set against the scenic backdrop of Africa Coffee Park in Ntungamo, the event aims to highlight the vital role of rural women in sustaining Uganda’s coffee sector. 

These hardworking women, often overlooked, are the backbone of an industry renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee beans.

The concert aligns with the Africa Coffee Renaissance Chapter 1 initiative, launched by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in May 2024. 

Under the theme “Uplifting Rural Coffee Women out of Poverty,” the event seeks to spotlight business and investment opportunities within Uganda’s coffee sector while raising awareness about the challenges faced by women farmers.

Bebe Cool leads organising team

Notably, Bebe Cool, founder of the “Silent Majority” front, is actively involved in organising this landmark occasion. 

His participation underscores the concert’s commitment to blending entertainment with social impact, aiming to support and empower rural communities through the power of music and collaboration.

As the Coffee Marathon Concert draws near, excitement continues to build for what promises to be a remarkable celebration of Uganda’s rich coffee heritage and musical talent.
