The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda the Most Rev. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu has launched the Coffee growing campaign in Rukiga district.

This was during his start of a 3-day pastoral visit to the Kigezi Diocese while at Kakamba church of Uganda in Buhangizi Archdeaconry where he also laid a Foundation stone on the ongoing Kakamba church of Uganda Building.
