About Makassi

We have some pretty lofty goals!

Creating opportunities for growth in communities through encouraging a healthy lifestyle with our 100% Juice Beverages, building powerful entrepreneurship opportunities for women, and reaching agricultural & manufacturing business goals throughout Africa.

Makassi Beverages was founded by Joseph Mpalanga, a small business owner. He knows the work required to run a business. When Joseph was a child, his mother suddenly found herself the main breadwinner for their family of 5. In the evenings, she would make juices using fresh fruits she purchased at the local market. During the day, she would sell her homemade juices making name for herself through her wonderful juices, These efforts enabled her to be able to pay for her children’s schooling as well as food and clothing. This spirit of determination that his mother possessed, inspired and helped lay the groundwork for Makassi Beverages and its mission - The Women’s Entrepreneurship Program.
