Fugi Ikizere Women - Washed - Rwanda

About This Coffee

This is our eight year purchasing coffee from Sundog Trading Company and Fugi Station owner/Founder of Baho Coffee Emmanuel Rusatira. Ikizere, which means confidence in Kinyarwanda, is Baho’s flagship initiative from their more traceable lot separations. In short, the group is composed of widowed women and single mothers who share the unique challenges of navigating traditionally patriarchal systems, both in Rwandese society as a whole and specifically in coffee production. Through supporting the Ikizere project, we hope to aid in developing a stronger sense of community between the women involved and to create a platform through which their voices can be heard.
