Here at the LYF we are really proud of the Oromo Coffee Company. With our Oromo colleagues and other supporters, we set the OCC and, although it’s still a struggle for everyone involved, it’s still going and growing. A truly unique and wonderful social enterprise. This article tells the story of the OCC and of Abiyot, one of the founding members and the most dedicated member of the team. Whilst trying to study at university, he still commits all his spare time to making a success of the OCC.
