Peace Kawomera Cooperative Society Cooperation Circle (CC) is located in Uganda and works with Jewish, Muslim, and Christian farmers from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The eastern part of Uganda enjoys relatively amicable relations between different faith communities, and Peace Kawomera is working hard to ensure that those relations are deepened and sustained. The group cooperatively runs a coffee growing co-op where they train, employ, and buy coffee from community members of all different faiths. In addition to providing economic stability, they conduct training on interfaith dialogue, and encourage community members to participate in each other’s traditions.
