Instead of just trading coffee the people of Virunga should should start trading clothes, jewelry, baskets, and different minerals. Trading more items can and will increase their wages. The women in Virunga make beautiful things that would sell. Trading more items can be a big help with food and helping families out of poverty. Imagine both mother and father of one family trading for money at one time that's a big improvement that helps with essentials for their kids and themselves.
