| Bette Uwimana, one of the leaders of Ejo Heza. |
Yesterday I had the honor to visit Kopakama with green coffee buyer, Aaron Van der Groen from Ritual Coffee in San Francisco, CA. We were both glad that Bette UWIMANA, a leader of the Ejo Heza women's cooperative, happened to be at the washing station that afternoon. Bette, 28 years old, recently joined the cooperative with the objective to improve the production from her coffee trees. She's accepted a leadership role as manager of credit and loans for the group's microcredit program.
Aaron asked, "what would you like to tell our customers who drink your coffee?"
CLICK HERE to open a Youtube video and listen to Uwimana's answer in her own words (translated from Kinyarwanda to English by Gervais Kayitare).
Brief summary:
"what I can say to our clients is that we hope they continue to build
their relationships with our farmers so that we can increase our production.
Another thing, we will continue to receive their advice related to the quality
of our coffee."
