Impacting Spiritual, Economic, Social, and Environmental
Alpha Kingdom Capital’s investment in Ribbo Coffee https://ribbocoffee.com/ continues our commitment to invest and coach Christian Entrepreneurs to maximize their Kingdom wealth and impact, grounded in a profound belief that BAM businesses uniquely provide sustainable impact across four-fold: spiritual, then economic, social, and environmental:
● Spiritual: Ribbo provides BAM evangelism and training to their staff and farmers, along with community support through a network of organizations.
● Economic: Ribbo coffee runs the only coffee dry mill and roastery in Northern half of Uganda. The factory holds a capacity of 22,000 pounds of coffee per day and will serve farmers from up-to 12 districts including Gulu and Lira, Uganda’s largest cities in the north. Ribbo trains suppliers to grow twice the coffee per acre, and to implement agroecology which enables them to sustain highly productive climate-resilient farms.
● Social: Ribbo is women-owned and managed. It provides the only major white label coffee, that does not compete with its customer’s branded blends and labels. The company also provides fair prices to their farmers alongside agroecological skilling and socio-economic support that has enabled their farmers to afford needs like medical care, school for kids, even pay for tuition at University. The company also creates opportunities for decent jobs to young people in the region given the high rate of unemployment.
● Environmental: Ribbo operates on agroecological principles across the value chain and through their demonstration farm they showcase sustainable farming techniques for farmers to adopt in their own farms. Ribbo also partners with environmental award-winning www.KijaniForestry.com the world’s fifth largest tree planter. By working with Kijani, Ribbo coffee farmers get training in sustainable forest and carbon credits, and Kijani farmers can diversify with crops like coffee.
Investing via its AKC International TID Fund I, Alpha Kingdom Capital https://alphakingdomcapital.com/ empowers global companies who view their operations as a divine calling for kingdom impact, a channel for Jesus Christ’s love and grace for all.

She is blessing tens of thousands today, and I believe soon millions.”
