Kasheke is a village strategically located in the Kalehe Territory near Lake Kivu in the South Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kasheke is 1,475 meters above sea level and is close to Bulengo, Kamabale, Tchofi, and Kabamba villages. The village is occupied by a small population of Bantu agriculturists and fishermen, including the Havu, Tembo, Shi, and Fuliiru people.[1][2][3][4]
Renowned for its cultivation of maize, cassava, banana, and rice, agriculture serves as the primary regional economy, complemented by cotton and coffee plantations.[5][6] Despite its robust agricultural potential, there is currently no agro-industry, although preliminary foundations exist, particularly in coffee and palm oil.[7][8][5]
