This awesome lot of coffee comes from a very special group of women producers with a purpose! Founded in 2017, the WCE is a women’s coffee cooperative focused on creating a space for female specialty coffee producers to have a stronger voice in production. They offer services such as family planning, nutrition programs, agricultural practices, and even providing cows and goats to their members. These initiatives have changed the lives of many. Today, the WCE has over 700 members!
Growing with the organization, the Mbizi washing station has nearly doubled its production. They are currently working on applying for Rain Forest certification to increase the premium of their coffee. In the future, they have goals to provide cows to all their members, cover health insurance, build a sewing center for young people, and even build a Nursery School.
