Strong Women Behind A Strong Coffee

Shining a light on female Rwandan coffee producers

"My motivation for this work was to bring to light a rarely seen side of rural African women. It is time for the world to see the power of African women farmers to understand how impactful and important their work is to the community." – Denyse K. Uwera

Created by Rwandan photographer and writer Denyse K. Uwera, Strong Women Behind A Strong Coffee is a captivating compilation of photos and essays showcasing incredible female Rwandan coffee producers. Immerse yourself in their stories, told in their own words, and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their journeys, joys, challenges, and perseverance in the coffee industry, and how it shapes their lives.

100% of the profits are donated back to the Rwandan coffee community through the 'Supporting Strong Women' fundraising campaign. The funds raised are dedicated to building a new child daycare facility, directly impacting the women’s productivity and prosperity while ensuring their children are cared for in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment.
