Was our first society to supply Gumutindo in 1999-2000. The society is well organized, has approximately 600 members, and is still expanding.
This was the 2nd society to join us in 2001. The farmers typically grow coffee, bananas, cassava, and yams. The average coffee has 300 trees intercropped with bananas and has between 1 to 2 acres of land. Communications within the area are poor
Our 3rd society joined us in 2002. The founding chairman, Dan Namudoto, had been head of the Gourmet Coffee project set up by Uganda Coffee Development Authority. Gumutindo assisted the members of that project in setup a new society, Buginyanya.
Our 4th society, Nasufwa, joined Gumutindo in 2002. It was an old society but had been defunct for many years. The farmers decided to ask for Gumutindo’s help to get their society up and running again. Nasufwa members? farms are some of the highest on the mountain

Started with 17 members which saw them start a vigorous campaign of bringing more farmers to the society and this has profited to having a total of 640 members joining. Zonal leaders are in place and they act as the main channel of communication from the top to farmers who are situated in remote areas. These leaders visit farmers in the catchment areas assigned to them for easy sharing of information and training that they need to produce good coffees.
