OUR MISSION
IMPROVING THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND GIRLS WHO SURVIVED THE GENOCIDE
Empower these women, empower her. Or in Kinyarwanda – the official language in Rwanda: Mukomeze
This coffee helps to improve the conditions of girls and women who have survived various forms of sexual violence during the genocide in 1994.
In 1996, the United Nations estimated that 250,000 to 500,000 women and girls were raped and/or suffered other forms of sexual violence during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, of which only 25,000 were estimated to have survived the genocide.
The consequences for these women are still visible today. Not only physically and psychologically, but also socio-economically. With the cultivation and sale of Bèkske coffee beans, the self-sufficiency of these women is increased. They also often feed 3 to 4 children’s mouths, many of which suffer from the stigma of a past that they have not asked for.
We strive for a better world with equal opportunities for all
Support The Way You Feel
Support in a way that suits you best. With the right (financial) resources we are the fastest to get the best results.
Sponsor The Coffee Project
A sponsorship is aimed at supporting an individual woman. A maximum percentage of each euro goes directly to the women. More reason to support this project. Because every cent helps. Really!
Donate
Authorization or a one-time payment? It doesn’t matter, any amount is appreciated. Did you know that donations are tax-deductible because Mukomeze, the foundation is a ANBI?
Buying Bèkske Coffee
With every bag of coffee you contribute to the economic independence of a woman in Rwanda. The beans are specially roasted for you, with each bag numbered. This is how we know exactly how far we are from the goal.
