An Indie Cities profile:
Vava Angwengi is a one-woman powerhouse behind VAVA Coffee. She embodies a new African Coffee Culture, fusing exemplary hand crafted quality with a new consciousness for ethically and environmentally sustainable commodities.
She was compelled to start an independent coffee business four years ago to make positive changes for coffee farmers, firstly in Kenya and the whole of East Africa, who have been exploited by big coffee companies in the past.
VAVA Coffee also provide employment and sustainable revenues to various self-help groups that make the packaging for the brand, including a group of rehabilitated street children in Kajiado district and women with HIV-AIDS in the local slums, who skillfully make the hand-made colorful bags the coffee is sold in.
