The Smiles Say it All!

We just got a fantastic report on the amazing changes happening for women in the village of Tuk’a that we’re helping just south of where our Yirgacheffe coffee comes from.

Empowering Village Women

Our on-the-ground partners helping villages in Indonesia are seeing breakthroughs with the women of the poor village of Camba Berua.

Here’s a recent report we received:

From the start, our number one goal has been to fuel excellent development work in poor villages, by fueling the coffee-loving community’s desire to drink high-quality coffee that does just that.

And we’re off to a great start!
