Some very sad news for us at the Coffee Connections Project: one of our most enthusiastic and dedicated farmers David Gachigi passed away recently. He had been suffering from high blood pressure.
David was one of the more senior farmers in the Coffee Connections program, and as such was a valuable link between the Rural Development Connections organizers and the farming community we work with. He will be sorely missed.
David took real pride in his farm. He took great care of the soil and set up beautiful trellises all over his land to collect rainwater. His son Francis has taken over his 2-acre farm (one of the larger ones in the program), and despite the family's loss, he is determined to keep things going.
RIP David Gachigi.
