Substantial progress has been made in the construction of the 50 m³ water reservoir Migoti Coffee is building as part of their Producer-Led Project. The work included earthworks and a stone masonry base, as well as installing necessary piping, fittings, and valves to dispense water. The hydraulic ram pump, a key component to transport water uphill, has also been fabricated and is ready for installation.
This is all thanks to funding from committed roasters, and we’re looking forward to seeing the second half of this project develop as Migoti begin to connect the reservoir to water points in the local community of Kinama.
