The Founding mother
“The future is about creativity and innovation, so we shall continue to invent new things that will propel us into the future, fully conscious that God has been faithful in the past, and so we are committing our future to Him.”
Born in a strong Christian family that cherished ethical values, Jolly upheld them throughout her childhood and work life. Her love for the Lord and heart for people became more pronounced when she started a coffee shop, CafePAP, pivoted on four major virtues: Christ-centred, Customer-driven, a heart for associates, and environment friendly. This humble journey began in 2003 with a single cafe and a team of 12 associates serving about 50 guests per day, which later grew to 4 locations, with more than 100 associates serving over 800 guests daily.
Jolly went on to lead the company to achieve a number of awards, such as the top 100 Fastest-growing medium-sized companies, as well as the International Quality Summit Gold award for excellence in business and operations.
Today, her legacy lives on, and her family continues to lead the organization through a focus on innovation and quality in the food and hospitality industry.

A tribute to Our Founding Mother
WE strongly believe in giving back
Social Impact.
The CafePAP family strongly believes in giving back to its communities! We do this through working with well-established and responsible institutions such as Watoto church and the International Christian Chamber of Commerce, where regular contributions are made to support a number of community development initiatives. Specifically, these efforts continue to uplift our society through support of deserving children and families by providing necessities such as access to meals and health care.
We are also committed to sourcing in an environmentally and socially responsible way. Since 2003, Cafe PAP has been committed to creating partnerships for shared value, and therefore ensure to form strong relationships with the local coffee farmers from whom coffee is sourced, and support them by paying a fair price and supporting their coffee production.
Our social responsibility efforts do not end there! In 2019, we scaled up our commitment to the environment, by investing in high quality re-usable glass bottles through which our Jolly Juicery cold-pressed juice products are packaged and sold. This initiative has had a significant impact, successfully minimizing our waste caused by the use of single-use plastic bottles, as our patrons have the opportunity to purchase these re-usable glass bottles for their own personal use.
