The story behind Nyamasheke Muhororo Organic

The history of this coffee starts back in 1973 with a story of Celestin Rumenerangabo raised by a poor single mum who was displaced after the death of her husband during the 1959 uprising that led to the groups of Hutus to launch attacks on the Tutsis. At 14, Celestin Rumenerangabo walked from Nyamasheke to Kigali, where he worked as a housekeeper for three years. With his savings, he returned home to support his single mother, bought land, and planted 380 coffee trees. He traded coffee locally, bought parchment and cherry from neighbors, and established relationships with buyers. In 1983, he married school teacher Marie Goretti. From 1978 to 1994, they expanded their coffee business, distributed equipment to growers, built collection sites, established new farms, and supported schooling for children from coffee-growing families. 

Your purchase of this coffee helps fund the Rugori Women's Crown Program. The social and community welfare program is focused on providing health care, child care and livestock for those working at the Muhororo washing station.  Learn More
