La’ Marc Coffee is a premium Ugandan coffee brand established in 2016 with the aim of providing coffee lovers with a once-in-a-lifetime taste experience. Although we began farming coffee in 2010, La’ Marc coffee brand developed in 2016 after meeting Marcie, a teenage girl who had been made pregnant by a close family member at the age of 17 and had been abandoned living with no option other than staying at our farm where her auntie had worked as a coffee picker. The experience we had while assisting Marcie till she gave birth strengthened our vision of supporting hundreds of girls in similar situations as Marcie, hence the brand “La’ Marc” named after her.
La’ Marc coffee is now winning the hearts of many coffee enthusiasts in Uganda and beyond due to its premium quality, which is achieved by adhering to all standard processes for production. So far, we have produced many different brands that are offered in various locations, with a few volumes beginning to sell in the United Kingdom with the assistance of our business mentor, Mr. Mark Andre Hall.
Sales from our coffee help to fund business skills training, mentorship, and counselling for many adolescent girls and teenage mothers who have lost hope of achieving their potential and supporting their families and children. To date, La’ Marc Coffee’s social economic empowerment sister organisation “La’ Marc Foundation” has given business training to over 75 teen mothers, with 34% of these women supported in establishing and running their own businesses.
