In 2012, Kahawa Link Company (Kalico), was started by Angele Ciza and her friend Consolata. They purchased seven washing stations with the idea of working in close partnership with growers so they could process and export Burundi’s best coffees. The washing stations are in the Kirundo and Muyinga Provinces in North-Eastern Burundi, each serving 1,000-3,000 small scale farmers.
To improve quality, Kalico began with outreach to the local farmers to ensure best farming practices. As the quality and value of the coffee increases Kalico further invests in additional training, environmental protection, inputs, micro-credit, micro-insurance, and social infrastructures in partnership with the producer organizations that deliver to their washing stations.
