With support from @RootCapital we are constructing water harvesting tanks in buswagha village and this was also affected by the recent floods in the Rwenzori Region. This will help our farmers on domestic use and also on the wet processing of Coffees.

[Bocu @BocuOrg]

In partnership with @RootCapital, we reached out to our farmers on the Rwenzori's who were hit by the recent floods. We gave them aid in terms of house hold utensils and food items, We believe that this will strengthen our relationship with them as they deliver quality coffees.

Celebrating the Women Producers of the World this International Women's Day 👩‍🌾

Throughout the regions in which we work, from Rwanda to Nicaragua, there are many powerful examples of women leading the way in agricultural and artisanal sectors which have long been dominated by men.

That is why we believe that gender equality has a vital part to play in strengthening communities and promoting economic growth . In fact, the @FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organisation) estimates that closing the gender gap in agriculture would reduce the number of undernourished people by up to 150 million.

So, in celebration of #InternationalWomensDay on March 8th, 2024, we want to shine the spotlight on the inspiring female figures who are reshaping their narrative and paving the way for a new generation of women leaders in their industry.

Their stories resonate within their organisations and throughout their communities. Watch our video or read our blog to learn more 📲

Meet the producers 📽
