About the Growers:
The Women Coffee Growers Program started in 2017 and has two main goals: to coach women to strengthen their production management skills and to help empower them to have better control opportunities where they sell their coffee to get paid better.To date, three phases of the program have been executed. Each phase covers the same subjects but encompasses a different group of women. On the one hand, lectures on issues such as productivity, quality, leadership, and women empowerment are delivered, strengthening knowledge regarding farm management. On the other side, to improve drying infrastructure, the program supplied raised African drying beds to all the women who took part in the training. Lastly, not only does the program highlight women coffee growers and their importance locally, but it also has given them visibility around the world due to the clients that purchase and carry their coffee globally.
