The overall objective of this project is to support children’s food security, quality education and reduction of gastro-intestinal diseases in El Cuá, San Rafael del Norte & San Sebastián de Yalí, Nicaragua.

In recent years, access to financing for working capital has decreased and the effort that small producers have made to maintain their plantations and guarantee food for their families becomes increasingly difficult. This micro-credits project seeks to guarantee resources and financial products adjusted to the current capacity and situation, more commercialization at fair prices, including training for greater productivity on farms, directly benefiting 30 women smallholder coffeepreneurs in Jinotega, Nicaragua.

The overall objective of this project is to develop a unified, economically feasible model for certification = ALDEA Certification model, led by a network of 30 youngsters, all sons and daughters of coffee entrepreneurs and members of Aldea Coffee. This will be a new, low cost model for certification that can be replicated in any other Latin American country.

This project aims at helping women invest in the purchase of agricultural inputs, work tools and small equipment for the maintenance of their coffee plantations through micro-loans.

In Jinotega, Matagalpa, Boaco, Nueva Segovia and Esteli the project aims to distribute water filters and provide drinking water to women as an initiative of women helping other women. Safe and clean drinking water prevents a lot of diseases so the Women’s Coffee Alliance wants to encourage the women to use the filters given as a preventive tool of infection diseases.

In Matagalpa and Jinotega we support Lending credits to members of Cecocafen. Credit and saving funds are managed by women in their organizations. (Board of Directors, composed of three democratically elected women.) Women are trained on how to keep records (manage) and register credits and savings.

In Matagalpa and Jinotega in Nicaragua, we support grant scholarships to children from coffee farmers in nine cooperatives. Cecocafen scholarship program has given access to education to many young boys and girls. In return, Cecocafen asks scholarship students to get involved in their cooperatives.

Appreciated for its pronounced acidity, subtle flavors and its sweetness, this well-balanced coffee is of excellent quality. EFICO has partnered with Aldea Coffee, Acorn/Rabobank, and Plan Vivo to link coffee farming with carbon sequestration. Together, we are transforming coffee production in Nicaragua by combining agroforestry practices with access to voluntary carbon markets. This collaboration supports smallholder farmers, enhances the environment, and contributes to carbon neutrality into our own coffee value chain. Aldea Coffee and EFICO have enjoyed a longstanding partnership, collaborating to bring responsibly sourced green coffee to the global market. Our relationship goes beyond coffee trading, with the support of Fúndacion Aldea and the EFICO Foundation driving initiatives that improve farmer livelihoods and foster environmental stewardship.
