The author

Bahati Bertin Matonde

Founder of Tabar Café, filmmaker, social entrepreneur

Congolese refugee who arrived in Uganda in 2012, becoming a social entrepreneur, filmmaker, then founder of a brand in Montreal. Since 2013, he has led Self-made Africans — first through cinema (documentaries recognized at festivals starting in 2016), then through sustainable agriculture at Kyaka II camp during the COVID-19 pandemic, where « The Let Be One Show » distributed seeds to more than 5,000 people.

Supported by UNHCR, OPM (Uganda), WFP, IRC, Mastercard Foundation, STV Uganda, Caritas and Alight Ripple Effect. Tabar Café is the logical continuation of this journey: a business that proves you can do good — from bean to cup.
