Rwanda WCE Kawa Yacu
Rwanda WCE Kawa Yacu
This coffee comes from the Women Coffee Extension (WCE) at the Mbizi Coffee Washing Station in west central Rwanda. Founded in 2017 by Aline Christine and Odette Uwamariya, the WCE is a women’s coffee cooperative focused on creating a space for female specialty coffee producers to have a stronger voice in Rwanda coffee production.
With over 700 members, the WCE services include educational programs, family planning and nutrition, agricultural practices and even providing cows and goats to members. These initiatives have changed the lives of many of their members and enhanced coffee production both at the farm and throughout processing. They continue to set goal to expand the benefits to their members including applying for Rainforest Alliance certification in order to increase the premium of their coffee.
