Rugori Women's Crown Program
About the program
Urugori “women’s crown” is a crown that women in Rwanda are given after giving their first birth as a symbol of motherhood. It is a symbol of respect and recognition of their contribution to society. Considering that more than 70% of Gasharu coffee employees are women, this program is meant to continue acknowledging women’s contribution by empowering them socio-economically and improving their health through a health insurance scheme.
Why this program?
Women in our coffee farming community often face limited access to land, credit, education, and market opportunities.
Goal
By investing in women, providing them with training, financial resources, and access to markets, we can overcome these barriers and empower them to contribute fully to the coffee industry. This investment promotes gender equality, reduces poverty, improves livelihoods, and fosters the adoption of sustainable farming practices, ultimately leading to inclusive growth, community resilience, and a thriving coffee sector in Rwanda.
