About the Coffee Farmer
This blend combines the work of two incredible female-led farms/companies in Africa.
In Burundi: As the only woman in Burundi who controls all production, processing, and exporting of their coffee, Angele Ciza champions a new wave of leadership with her Burundi-based company, Kalico. Her specialty coffees have a distinct, consistent flavor profile sought by buyers worldwide. Her secret ingredient? The heart that goes into running the farm, which is evident in every single cup of Kalico coffee. Kalico not only focuses on producing a quality product, but also on providing their 44 permanent and 250 seasonal employees with a great place to work. Angele serves as an excellent role model for the next generation of female leaders not only for her work with Kalico, but also in her service efforts: she gives back to her community by offering scholarships to educate girls in Kirundo, a city in northern Burundi. This initiative remains close to her heart, as she believes that the future of Burundi’s development lies in the hands of women.
In Rwanda: Kula Coffee centers their operations in Rwanda, a resilient and fast-developing nation in the heart of Africa. Each bag sold helps to support 150 coffee farmers in the Twongere Kawa Coko cooperative, a group created by the Kula Fellowship. This fellowship invests time, care, and funds into blossoming entrepreneurs in Rwanda through an intense 5-step approach. This program seeks to increase female-led businesses by many metrics, including financial literacy, nutrition, and mentorship, but especially through the generation of a belief in oneself in every fellow. Towards the end of their journey, students have the opportunity to submit business plans for investment and support beyond their fellowship days.
