OUR STORY

Why Empower Women?

Women are frequently the backbone of a Rwandan family. In Rwandan culture, we say “Umugore ni Mutima w’ Urugo," which communicates that a woman is the heart of the family. As Yellow Elephant Coffee empowers women with job opportunities, benefits will flow to their children, thus transforming the lives of their families in general.

Why a Coffee Project?

Through Yellow Elephant Coffee, Rwanda Children will strive to promote coffee production in the community. Coffee is one of the most reliable cash crops here in Rwanda. Changing people’s thinking, so they better understand the economic benefits of coffee production is one of the main reasons, we are beginning Yellow Elephant Coffee. Growing coffee involves many stages, from the fields to roasting the beans. For this reason, we trust Yellow Elephant Coffee will employ significant numbers of people. Yellow Elephant Coffee will not only provide sustaining funding to Rwanda Children but will offer a better life to vulnerable families in our community.

Yellow Elephant Coffee will help promote in women in our community greater self-worth, the ability to support their families, and the confidence to influence social change for themselves and others.
