JNP Coffee produces, promotes and trades African specialty coffee. Its founder, Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian, passionately pursues her dream of helping the coffee farmers of her birthplace, Burundi, East Africa – a specialty coffee-producing country and one of the poorest in the world.
Every purchase from the JNP Coffee Auction supports more inclusive economic development initiatives for Burundi farmers. Together, we inspire transformational change.

Life is a dance. When you dance with your whole body, your energy is magnified. You can feel the joy and the sorrow of all people and you understand we are here to make a difference.
In Burundi, cultural norms shift slowly. Women are marginalized, lacking full property ownership rights or equal access to education.
JNP Coffee is using the power of specialty coffee to transform the lives of women farmers by paying them directly for their work. Creating financial opportunites and encouraging them to reinvest their income back into their families and communities.
Learn about usIn 2012, Jeanine founded JNP Coffee, serving as a role model for what a Burundian woman can achieve in her country.
As a child growing up in Burundi’s capital city, Bujumbura, Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian recalls her mother telling the story of her entire family cultivating coffee in Ngozi Province to pay for school fees. Years later, Jeanine earned an MBA from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and enjoyed a 20-plus-year international business career that led her back to Burundi and to coffee.
