The Challenges
Farmers are always squeezed and rarely see profits as large companies press them for lower prices to compete in the market. In fact, 44% of the small coffee farmers around the world live below the poverty line of $3.20 a day. 22% of them live in extreme poverty of just $1.90 a day.
We work to fix that.
The Solutions
We give a voice to the farmers.
We give the farmers the tools they need to succeed.
And we give elected farmers a seat in the board room to make decisions with us.
Our Goals
To change the lives of 125,000 farmers by paying them above their cost of production and increasing their output to over 25 quintales per hectare by April 2040.
To build 50 schools and 1,500 houses in coffee communities by April 2040.
To start an R&D center for coffee plant research and coffee processing research that will test 20 varieties of coffee trees and find a solution for coffee waste by April 2030.
