As part of Woman's History month, we want to let you get to know about the 'women owned farms' we partner with to bring you our great coffee. Today we'd like you to meet the ladies from the Rwanda Rushashi Hingakawa coop. We are proud to be offering coffee produced by a group of women within the coop, who have organized themselves as the Hingakawa woman's association. The group receives a premium to use for the additional work of lot separation, and to re- invest in programs benefiting the members. The group has already purchased a communal farm and distrbuted cows, pigs, & goats to their members, and their next plan is to build a training center to be used for a wide variety of initatives from child development and nutrition to sewing instruction for additional income.
