In Kirundi, one of the primary languages of Burundi, Dushime means “let’s be thankful.” At JNP Coffee, Dushime means a share of the premium that high-quality specialty coffee commands in the global marketplace.

​

For the coffee farmers of Burundi, Dushime® means a second payment late in the year, after the latest harvest has been sold by JNP Coffee to its customers worldwide. This cash is reinvested into the farmers’ communities, paying for such items as:

​

• Secondary school fees

• Books, school uniforms, school supplies

• Fertilizer for the next season’s crops

• Jobs for additional laborers on coffee farms​

​

Partners with JNP Coffee can increase the level of Dushime® payments to farmers in specific regions or for individual coffees.
