Masha
Masha’s washing station shares its name with the hill on which it is located. This area is more famous for its cattle than its coffee. The name Masha comes from the Kirundi word “amasho”, which means “herds of cattle”. This hill has been a crossroads for many herds in the region.
Masha Station was built in 1989. Most of the farmers who deliver cherries are subsistence farmers. Farmers grow trees intertwined with food crops and other cash crops to feed and support their families.
