What does Peace Kawomera mean to you?
I love it so much because it is the solution to my problems.
What was life like before Peace Kawomera?
Life wasn’t good because coffee was our livelihood and the market was poor. Traveling with our coffee to town was also a problem because town was so far away.
What has been the greatest change in your life since joining Peace Kawomera?
My income has improved, transport to Peace Kawomera Cooperative is assessable, and we get our money immediately. The broker is no longer cheating us.
How many children live in your home?
3 biological children, 4 other children.
