Uganda Christian University (UCU) students have started a Coffee Club and hub to promote the culture of coffee drinking. The effort has been possible with the support of the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) whose officials paid a visit to the UCU Incubation Hub, on April 22, 2024.

The UCDA officials provided barista training for the prospective UCU Coffee Club members.

The initiative is expected to lead to the official launch of the UCU Coffee Club, which is a student-centred organization dedicated to promoting coffee-drinking culture.

Richard Miiro Mutebi, the Vice President of the UCU guild, expressed gratitude to UCDA for providing students with valuable insights into the coffee value chain. “ We appreciate the great enlightenment you have offered us on the coffee value chain. The maiden barista training on the process of making lattes, cappuccinos, and espressos is one that we shall always cherish.”
