ECOLOGICAL COFFEE PRODUCTION

This project's aim is to implement sustainable, ecological, smallholder coffee production in the Bolivian Province of Ichilo in order to generate regional, economic and social growth.

A NEW GENERATION OF COFFEE ENTREPRENEURS

In several regions in Santander, Colombia, the project aims to provide better better perspectives for the young coffee growers community. 150 young coffee growers will become regional and national models of rural entrepreneurship. 150 coffee plantations will stand out for their profitability and sustainability and will be known as 'model coffee farms'.

IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER

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.

MICRO-CREDITS

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.

COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION PROJECT

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.

YOUNG WORKERS & SUSTAINABLE COFFEE

This project addresses main weaknesses in the coffee sector in San Martin that are preventing its smallholders from reaching full potential in terms of quality, competitiveness and sales. Through an integrated technical assistance and training plan, productivity and sustainability of coffee production in agro-forestry systems is enhanced, with main focus on the work services provided by 20 young workers.
