SHARED INTEREST SOCIETY ANNUAL REVIEW 2021 15
CYAHINDA
RWANDA
Cyahinda is an award-winning
Rwandan coffee co-operative.
Founder Niyonsaba Betty Scheba
started growing coffee in her
garden but dreamed of owning
a coffee washing station.
“Our passion for coffee extends
to the hardworking people
who nurture and grow it.”
This year, Shared Interest
finance supported the
co-operative in constructing
a warehouse for vital storage.
A YEAR OF RESILIENCE
“Our individual lives are full
of ups and downs. But
the important thing is
that we will fix our
problems together.”
CHINO, APICOOP
ASUNAFO
BURKINA FASO
Asunafo cocoa co-operative
initially contacted Shared
Interest for a loan to buy
fertiliser so farmers could
improve the quality of their
crops.
They went on to receive
finance to purchase a truck to
help transport their increasing
production of cocoa.
When Asunafo President
Daniel Amponsah joined us
for an online event this year,
he said:
“Our mission is to help
farmers have a better
life, and working with
Shared Interest has
supported us to
fulfil this.”
