PEARL is Extended: Intorducing SPREAD

Tim SchillingCongratulations to Timothy Schilling of Partnership for Enhancing Agriculture in Rwanda through Linkages (PEARL) for successfully landing another five-year grant to continue its good work in Rwanda. This means the Project Rwanda coffee bike can become a reality in early 2007. For more information on Dr. Schilling and PEARL, read the articles below. Rwanda has nearly 500,000 small-holder coffee producers who possess an average of 200 coffee trees each. Each small plantation is managed like a small garden and is the principal generator of cash for rural Rwanda.
