Roasted and packaged in the UAE

By importing green coffee beans and roasting and packaging them locally, we significantly decrease the carbon footprint associated with transportation and logistics. This method of production cuts down on the emissions produced by long-distance shipping and distribution, resulting in a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to coffee production.

What Problems is Nia Addressing?

Rural Poverty

In Sub-Saharan Africa, more than half the population is employed in agriculture, including in some 33 million smallholder farms. Yet rural poverty is acute with the vast majority of people earning less than $2.00 per day. Women farmers are particularly disadvantaged

Gender Inequality

Women in Kenya play a crucial role in entrepreneurship and agriculture. Despite providing 80% of farm labor and managing 40% of smallholder farms, women face challenges such as limited access to finance, property ownership barriers and cultural biases. Only about 1% of agricultural land is owned by women.
