The Bwenda washing station is located 187 km southwest of Kigali. Northwest of Butare in the Kbumbwe sector, Bwenda covers a small area of approximately 3 ha. It was established by RTC in 2019 and is named after the land on which it stands. Since RTC took it over, it has been managed by Eric, who lives nearby in Huwe.
The station employs three permanent staff, including Eric, and hires about 60 seasonal workers during harvest. About 85% of the workforce is female, as they are more meticulous and precise in processing coffee than men.
Approximately 1,600 small farmers from the surrounding area bring coffee cherries to the station. Their farms range from 100 to 7 000 trees (about 3 hectares) and are located between 0,5 and 4 km away. In order to facilitate the farmers' access to the station, collection points are set up and collectors are deployed to check and weigh the cherry deliveries and pay the farmers immediately. The station also provides farmers with EM2 organic compost, made from recycled cherry pulp and special animal manure.
