Rwanda's Gold Cup and the Winning Cooperative

By Amina Omari | May 1, 2008

Mill owner, Epiphanie, shows the Gold Cup that the cooperative won in Rwanda's national coffee competition.

Farmers bring their coffee beans to the Bufcafe Gkongoro Mill for washing.

Epiphanie has worked hard to improve both water conservation and coffee quality. This new catch brings more water to the mill.

New facilities allow farmers to fully wash their coffee, improving quality and and earning better prices for years to come.

The new cistern stores the water needed for coffee washing. The water is reused for agriculture and cleaned by ground filtration.
