The programme seeks to contribute to the closing of the living income gap of 3,425 coffee producers—especially women and youth operating in 9 RWACOF coffee washing stations. This is done by providing them with opportunities to diversify their income streams and improve their livelihoods. The project is co-funded by Rikolto and SUCAFINA Rwanda (RWACOF Export Ltd) through its sustainability foundation, called Kahawatu Foundation Rwanda.
