The proud women farmers of Turihamwe coffee truly embody the spirit of entrepreneurship. The name Turihamwe, was chosen by the women themselves and means "together" in Kirundi. They have been growing coffee in Ngozi Province for about five years and have devoted themselves to attaining quality and to building a sustainable future for their families and their community.
For several years they worked together, studied together, and saved together. Soon they had enough money to build their own wet mill, which they did themselves. Now they control the quality of their coffee beyond the harvest and through the critical processing steps.
