WOMEN’S COFFEE PROJECT

Opportunities and growth for women

We want to talk to you about traceable, high-end coffees. Of plantations run by women farmers, of their value, of promoting gender equality and social equality.

Underlying the WOMEN COFFEE PROJECT is the desire to tell the story and the need to change the perception of the role of women in the world of coffee. Crucial with their unparalleled work, they must be known and recognized for the REAL VALUE they have.
Small plantations, high quality coffee and the work of a group of women who put their professionalism and passion into it can be told in a different, transparent and fair way. Starting right now, starting HERE.

BRAZIL
Donas do Cafè

Coffee: Fazenda Piedade

The Donas do Café project was created in Brazil with producers to incentivize women producers engaged in commercial coffee production to make the leap to gourmet and specialty production, and to the benefits that higher selling prices can bring in terms of stability.

The cornerstone of the project is the opening of communication channels between the identified realities and successful women-owned farms, such as Fazenda Piedade.

KENYA
Women’s coffee project

Coffee: Kapkiyai FCS AA

The cooperative is located on one of the highest and most picturesque hills in Nandi, Rift Valley .
Operating for many decades in the coffee production industry in 2010, Kapkiyai began receiving support from the “Coffee Initiative” which includes increased training in agronomy, cooperative management and the wet mill. All this emphasized gender inclusion in the coffee industry. As time went on, Kapkiyai’s management began to see what the potential of women in the cooperative really was.

“Women are the ones who take care of the children, those who work on the farms, and those who bring the coffee down the hills to the cooperative for processing. It was time for them to be involved in sales.” , said President David Saina.
