Margaret Nyambumo, founder of coffee company Kahawa 1893 and third-generation coffee farmer, said that she created the option to directly tip the female farmers who grow her coffee beans because she wanted to find a way to consistently and fairly compensate them regardless of fluctuation in coffee prices. Nyambumo said that the tips from customers — which are matched by the company — have been used by one of the farming collectives to start a scholarship for young girls to stay in school.
