Vunga sits near the borders of Uganda to the North and the Democratic Republic of
Congo to the West. This tiny station is located between the steep hills of Nyabihu
District. Vunga is a woman-owned and managed washing station. It is managed by
Daphrose Uwimana, who has created a close-knit community and mentors a group of
women farmers that produces special women-grown lots. Daphrose founded the
cooperative in 2009 and is the driving force behind the exceptional coffee coming
out of this station.

Daphrose saw a growing challenge for the station. Youth were not interested in
becoming coffee farmers. In an effort to keep the tradition alive, Daphrose invested
the money she made from coffee to purchase land with the plan to teach youth in
her community about coffee farming. She hopes to inspire youth to enter the coffee
sector and continue growing world-class specialty coffee.
