Rwanda – Cafe de mama Red Bourbon

Creating a women-led community that can change the way coffee is grown in Rwanda.

Cafe de Mama was started by a group of Rwandan women belonging to Nova Coffee Coop. whose mission is to create a women’s community that can change the way coffee is grown in Rwanda.
Agnes Mukamushinja leads the group and with her strength and determination supports young women employed in agriculture, specializing them through training courses necessary to create a fair and sustainable supply chain.

In 2021 their coffee was awarded best product “Taste of Rwanda” this award explains Agnes: “it is an incentive that will give support to both the washing station staff and our farmers, who are motivated to continue on the path of quality.”
Continued: “through coffee we help about 2,800 producing families in our community. This is why the Ikawa Sawa (Sustainable Arabica and Woman in Agriculture) project was inaugurated, which promotes a sustainable form of agriculture that respects the ecosystem and helps women who want to enter this working world.”
