Sipi Falls is the latest addition to the collection of Suubi's Flavour of the Month necklaces. Available tomorrow on the LGH online shop, we wanted to first give you an exclusive preview of just how versatile this piece is.

Sipi Falls is a part of the 2011 SUUBI® Uganda Awareness Tour representing Agriculture, Food vs. Land.

Many Suubi women supplement their income by growing crops such as bananas and/or sugar cane to be sold in local markets. If they are unable to sell in the markets, they use these crops to feed themselves and their families.

Sipi Falls (where the March FOTM is named after) is a series of three waterfalls located near Mount Elgon in the northeastern district of Kapchorwa. The Sipi Falls area is particularly famous for Bugisu Arabica Coffee produced and grown locally by farmers. Bugisu Arabica only grows at an altitude of between 1,600 and 1,900 metres. Coffee is a cash crop, and it is grown by 300,000 small-holder farmers in Uganda. It makes up 95% of the Ugandan exports and 2,800,000 people rely on it for a living!
