All of Rwanda sits at relatively high altitude; its lowest point is 950 metres. Marshes and sunny savannas dominate the east, while the centre is hilly and mountainous.
Gitoki is a hill in the Eastern Province and home to the newest washing station of the Baho family, built in 2020 so farmers in the Gatsibo district no longer had to carry cherries long distances. It collects coffee from 1,120 farmers, produces around 10 containers a year and employs 130 people at peak harvest. Baho also runs a seedling programme that encourages farmers to plant more coffee.
