Bumayoga
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 in the area are poor and most places can only be reached on foot.

Buginyanya
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 to setup a new society, Buginyanya.

Nasufwa
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, at more than 2,000 metres.

Konokoyi
Konokoyi was a member of Bugisu Co-operative Union (BCU), however when BCU collapsed, it joined Gumutindo in 2004 as our 5th Society. It has a membership of over 500 member farmers and still expanding.

Peace Kawomera
The people of Namanyonyi are of diverse tribal and religious origins with almost every tribe of Uganda represented. The inhabitants of this area belong to various religious groups which include Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
To foster coexistence, a committee consisting of Moslems, Christians and Abajudaya was set up to create a uniting platform for the different faiths. Peace Kawomera was created and joined Gumutindo in 2004.
Members plan to plant more coffee and trees to provide shade to their coffee.

Bukalasi
Our 7th society joined in 2007

Buteteya
Our 8th Society in 2007

Kikuyu
Our 9th society joined in 2007

Nagudi Bwira
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 do visit farmers who are in the catchment areas assigned to them for easy sharing of information, training that they need to produce good coffees.
