This round of Giveback Project funding will go towards replacing the roof of the wet mill/office/collection station and some painting to keep the building protected from the elements. However, it is important that the entire community surrounding the Mwika North project feel supported so we’re also looking forward to this round of funding to do similar building infrastructure improvement to the neighboring Mwika North-East office.

Coffee is Tanzania's largest export crop and is the livelihood of 400,000 families. Historically, progress has taken the form of increased production, but "home processing" led to inconsistency in cup quality and thus lower prices on the international market. Mwika North, a cooperative of 180 farmers, has cultivated a vision of how a centralized mill and member education could boost quality and create consistency. It is a community-focused project that is primed for partnership.
