RWACOF Export Ltd.Sustainability Intern
Jan. 2024 - Jun. 2024Kicukiro, Kigali City, RwandaMy six months internship at RWACOF wasn't just an experience; it was a catalyst for positive change in the coffee industry. As a Sustainability and Marketing Intern, I played a pivotal role in assisting and coordinating research projects focused on overcoming critical challenges faced by coffee farmers. These included nutrient-depleted soil, stagnant farmer income, unpredictable weather patterns, aging coffee trees, and limited access to essential farm inputs. My unwavering dedication went beyond simply assisting. I actively sought impactful research that could empower farmers to improve coffee quality, yield, and ultimately, their financial security. The collaborative environment at RWACOF, fueled by a spirit of maximizing positive impact, provided a fertile ground for my own professional growth within the research sector. My adaptability and eagerness to learn allowed me to seamlessly integrate into the fast-paced environment of this leading coffee company.
