Ugandan woman Meridah Nandudu empowers 600 female coffee farmers through her company, Bayaaya, combating gender inequality and poverty.
Meridah Nandudu, a 35-year-old Ugandan social work graduate, founded Bayaaya Specialty Coffee in Mbale, buying directly from over 600 women farmers in her village.
Returning home after job struggles, she overcame cultural resistance—where men controlled coffee sales and women were discouraged from participating—by offering male farmers extra pay if their wives sold to her.
Her mission, driven by witnessing domestic violence linked to women’s economic dependence, aims to empower women through fair income, training, and dignity, transforming coffee into a tool for gender equity and community change.
