Laurence Mukakabera was born into a coffee-growing family and later established a plantation alongside her husband. When the Rwandan genocide claimed her husband's life, she fled with her two children, surviving by weaving and selling baskets.
Returning to find her property destroyed, Laurence drew on her knowledge of coffee cultivation to slowly reconstruct her farm, Kinyonzo-Gihura, in Rwanda's Northern Province. Today, her carefully tended coffee trees share the land with livestock and diverse sustenance crops, creating a living ecosystem that both enriches the soil and prevents erosion.
Through the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative, Laurence has found not only better market access, but also community with fellow genocide survivors, and in the Rambagirawaka women’s group, she has become a quiet leader and advocate. “The cooperative has become a solace and bread provider to single mothers,” Laurence told us. “We meet people, we learn and we grow together as a family.”
