On International Women’s Day, March 8, two US-based Ugandan sisters in their mid-20s launched a specialty coffee company called Mutima Coffee.
The company went on to sell more than 200 bags of its coffee, seven days after launching pre-order sales. What is worth noting is that Mutima Coffee exclusively sells Ugandan coffee, specifically arabica beans from Mt Elgon.
Sheila and Sharon Kasasa currently run an online store for Mutima Coffee, from where they retail roasted Ugandan coffee beans in the US and Europe.
The two sisters were born in Uganda and moved to the US with their parents before the older one (Sheila) made 10 years old. Before they left the country, the little girls were pupils at Kampala Parents School. They spent their childhood in Maryland and moved to Washington DC as young adults.

Fortunate Vanessa Twinomujuni decided to move to the UK in 2014. Her reasons were simple and straight forward: to study and add value to her life and career.
Twinomujuni had been a corporate banker with one of the banks in Kampala right before she left. She had also been running a small real estate business and another in produce trading. She lived in a nice apartment in a dustless part of Kampala.
