Coffee Company Kahawa 1893 Works to Empower Women Farmers

Kahawa 1893, a coffee company founded by third-generation farmer Margaret Nyambumo, is making strides in empowering women farmers by offering a direct tipping option for customers. This initiative ensures fair compensation for female farmers, even during coffee price fluctuations. The matched tips from consumers have enabled one collective to establish a scholarship for young girls, helping them stay in school. This effort highlights the broader impact of sustainable business practices on community development and gender equality in agriculture.
