Kyarumba is a very large coffee-growing area. The growers are members of Bukonzo Joint Union Co-op, which markets their coffee beans around the world. As it happens, most of the growers are women who depend on this livelihood to support their families. Cleanup may take a while here. And many will have to replant.

Update to the Update: Since the above was posted, one of their buyers, Salt Spring Coffee in British Columbia, has made a significant donation directly to Bukonzo Joint and will also organize a fundraising campaign with their customer base. https://saltspringcoffee.com
