Trade, not aid

Rutasoka was founded on a simple belief: long-term partnerships create lasting impact. By working with over 1,000 farmers across East Africa, we create sustainable opportunities that build stronger livelihoods, better coffee, and a more resilient future for everyone involved.

This commitment guides everything we do.

Rebu Burubwa, Rutasoka's visionary founder

After being forced to flee his homeland during unrest, Rebu Burubwa found safety in Sweden. With a strong connection to Congo and a desire to give back, he works to address the challenges in his hometown of Uvira, South Kivu, and create a better future.
