In the hills above Lake Kivu, Muungano - “togetherness” in Swahili - is a cooperative of over 4,300 smallholders, more than 40% of whom are women. In a region where community structures are often the only constants, the name represents the coop’s foundational commitment to progress shared across multiple demographic groups.
Since its founding, Muungano has championed equity, traceability and quality, helping to build lasting livelihoods for members and their families. This specific lot placed second at this year’s inaugural Best of Congo competition – an initiative created by Assembly, Keynote Coffee and local Congolose coffee cooperative leaders to share their exceptionally high-quality coffees with a global audience.
