Coffee production in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is facing great difficulties, as the services and infrastructure make it difficult for coffee farmers to finance, agronomic training or fair prices. So far, the DRK has not been on the radar for many specialty cafés. After decades of civil war and the associated economic struggles, however, coffee production in the northern region has become an important source of income. Women in particular can secure an income for their families and find prospects in coffee production. With the help of several experienced coffee professionals from all over the world, the quality of the coffee has increased in recent years, creating a completely new dynamic in the region and revitalizing the coffee sector.

Kawa Kanzururu is a cooperative with a membership of 875 coffee farmers, 230 of whom are women. The coffee is grown on the side of the Rwenzori Mountains, a small mountain range in Central Africa that sits on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and reaches an altitude of 5,109 meters. The micro-washing stations and the coffee fields are between 1100 and 1720 meters above sea level.
