Indego Africa then applies 100% of profits and other grants or donations to its long-term skills training programs in financial management, entrepreneurship, literacy, and computers – which are administered by Rwanda’s top university students.  Indego Africa is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and the subject of a Harvard Business School case study.
