The Story

Since joining the Café Femenino program, the women farmers of COSURCA have risen above ingrained social stigmas to become a shining example of the courage and power of women standing up together to shape a better future. Now 438 women strong, the women’s husbands and their communities are on board with the new status and success the women have achieved. When they’re not harvesting world-class coffee beans, they’re running a kitchen upgrade project that improves the health and safety of homes across the community.
