The women farmers participate in all farm activities. They prepare the terrain, nurseries, and the compost. They fertilize the soil and prepare bio-fertilizers, as well as harvesting, de-pulping, fermenting, and drying of the coffee.
It is very rare for women to participate in selling the coffee or decisions on how the money from coffee sales will be used.
We are working to raise self-esteem and to change the view of women's roles. We are working to start economical activities that generate sales the women can control. The women's response to these organizational activities has been amazing. Even the support offered by community leaders and other men has gone well.
The women's conferences have focused on building self-esteem and leadership, and sharing their experiences from work in the field to participation in other organizations. read more >
