Gilbert Gatali

Gilbert Gatali owns Intango washing station in Karongi District, Rwanda. Counter Culture identifies him as the owner and traces his earlier work with a farmer-owned exporter connected to the PEARL initiative. Gervais is documented by a trade partner as a station collaborator, not as the named producer of this exact release.

History
