Front Street-Rwanda Shuli Coffee Story

Shuli, Rwanda.

The Shuli Cooperative in Rwanda, formerly known as Abateraninkunga ba Sholi, where Abateraninkunga means mutual assistance and Sholi is the name of the village. The community is roughly located in the Muhanga area of Lake Kivu, Rwanda (Lake Kive, where there was a well-established Lake Kivu in Congo) and Kigali, in the middle. Sholi was founded in 2008 by about 30 women from Shurisel in Muhanga, the Power of Women! (the same is true of Lakasina, Colombia, which Ming once wrote about. )

Over the past decade, the community has been committed to improving their coffee and community economic development. In 2015, the cooperative received Fair Trade (Fairtrade) certification; in 2016, it received Rainforest Alliance (Rainforest Alliance certification) certification; and on March 29th, 2018, Zhenxuan Rwanda Shuli met at the Shanghai Bakery. The Sholi Cooperative currently has 332 members, 203 of whom are women, including two of the five board members. Moreover, the cooperative has now planted more than 400000 trees.

Mutual help makes the cooperative stronger and stronger.

The cooperative is dominated by women, but in the follow-up development, the absorption of male members is conducive to more reasonable work and improve efficiency. In 2016, cooperatives received funding and set up community centres and health centres to provide some basic services. Of course, Sholi cooperatives have their own processing stations.

Sholi's coffee processing is similar to other coffee cooperatives in Rwanda and belongs to the washing method. After the coffee berries are delivered to the washing station, the coffee is peeled and fermented for about 2 days, then rinsed and soaked for 24 hours, then washed, and finally placed on a Kenyan net bed to dry.
