Mapendo, swahili for “love,” is farmed in 16 separate lots by 4,200 farmers, nearly 40% of which are women. Mapendo farmers produce fully washed coffee that has been certified FTO since 2009. There are 3 washing stations, including one large and two mini washing stations. A fourth station is under construction along with a modern lab for cupping and quality control. This micro-lot is selected from the best day lots of only the Women producers of the Cooperative from those women run farms in the Kahele region and processed at the Buchiro, Chebumba washing station.


Meet Linda Mugaruka (aka: the Queen of Beans). Linda is the Chief Quality Officer and an Owner of Mighty Peace Coffee, as well as the first female Q Grader in the Congo. A loving mother and powerful community organizer, Linda’s dedication to coffee stems not only from a love of beans, but from a true desire to see real change and real peace in her country.

Fikiri Charlotte's life has been positively impacted by growing coffee; it's allowed her to buy a goat for breeding, build a house, and buy another field where she's planted coffee trees. With the manure produced by the goat, she's able to strengthen the ecosystem of her farm through the fertilization of the fields.
