Mission of the organization
We develop affordable banana fiber products, enable banana growers to earn extra income while creating job opportunities for youth and women in the rural and urban communities of Uganda. In 2018, we launched a program called BAFETE 2019, which stands for “Banana Fiber Extraction Training Edition”, and have shipped 5kgs of banana fibers for R&D in Paris to the shoe brand Umoja, with which we are collarborating.
