Ndumberi
Ndumberi is a municipality division in Central Province, Kenya. It is located at around 1°9′25″S 36°48′25″E / 1.15694°S 36.80694°ECoordinates: 1°9′25″S 36°48′25″E / 1.15694°S 36.80694°E, in the elevation of about 1,820 m. The surrounding catchment has a population of about 18,000. It located 3 km NW of Kiambu, the capital of the Kiambu District.
Road improvements in 2008 have made this village more accessible to Nairobi in under 30 minutes by auto. The village is likely to see more development as Nairobi's rapid development pushes forward through Kiambu and into smaller villages.
The town is surrounded by hilly Kikuyu farmland, mostly coffee and tea plantations. About 20% of the coffee production comes from small-share landowners and co-operatives. One of these is the Ndumberi Coffee Cooperative, which was inaugurated by Kenya's first president Jomo Kenyatta when it was formed in 1960. Mars Drinks purchases its beans from this co-operative to produce Kenyan Dawn, a self-billed "sustainable coffee choice." It has wet mills in Ndumberi, Riabai and Ngaita. In 2006, the company launched their sustainable coffee chain and started the Ndumberi Coffee Improvement Project. In addition to improving farming conditions with new equipment and facilities, Mars Drinks helped the co-op become UTZ Certified. This worldwide certification program sets a standard for responsible coffee production and sourcing.
