  Abakundakawa Rushashi, founded in 1999 by 103 members, is today a solid and well-organised cooperative with 2109 farmers. The Ishema Youth Coffee Group, which produces this lot of coffee, consists of young women and men whom the Rushashi cooperative trains in microfinance, administration and sustainable agronomic practices. One of these projects, initiated with the support of the green coffee importer This Side Up, focuses on regenerative agriculture and agroforestry.
