乌干达妇女Meridah Nandudu通过她的Bayaaya公司赋予600名女咖啡农民权力,打击两性不平等和贫穷。 Ugandan woman Meridah Nandudu empowers 600 female coffee farmers through her company, Bayaaya, combating gender inequality and poverty.

Meridah Nandudu,35岁的乌干达社会工作毕业生,在姆巴莱创建了巴亚亚亚特制咖啡,直接从她所在村庄的600多名女农民那里购买。 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. 在工作斗争后回家时,她克服了文化阻力,男子控制了咖啡销售,而妇女则不愿参与其中,因为如果男性农民的妻子卖给她,她们可以向男性农民提供额外的工资。 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. 她的使命是目睹与妇女的经济依赖性有关的家庭暴力,目的是通过公平的收入、培训和尊严来赋予妇女权力,将咖啡转化为两性平等和社区变革的工具。 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.
