Hingakawa group
The Hingakawa group is a 740-member women's association within the Abakundakawa Cooperative in Rushashi, Gakenke, Rwanda. Sightglass identifies the group as the exclusive producer community for its 2026 Abakundakawa Bourbon lot.
Farm: Abakundakawa Cooperative →History
Sightglass says Abakundakawa began in 1999 with 100 farmers; trade sources describe its formal registration in 2004. Membership figures vary by source and date. Hingakawa was organized within the cooperative to expand women's income, agency and leadership through coffee.
