Oliva Kishero
Oliva is a coffee farmer, a proud mother of seven, an entrepreneur,
and a leader of women. She's come a long way. When Oliva joined her
coffee co-op, no other women were members. She then helped other women
join and even started a women's group with a small savings and loan
program. With income from farming and side projects, she has sent all of
her children to boarding school. Her motivation? Helping other women
build a better future for their children. "It is out of my heart," she
says.
Honoring proud mothers and families everywhere.

When farmers organize, they become more powerful. Fifteen years ago
in the mountains of Peru, a small group of isolated coffee farmers
joined together and formed a co-op. Today, Cooperativa Nor Andino has
7,000 members with access to pre-harvest credit, training on organic
farming, and health services. Together they own a state-of-the-art
processing mill, and they have diversified their farms to include sugar,
fruit, and cacao. Working together, the farmers of Cooperativa Nor
Andino start their mornings strong.
Start your morning strong with this tasty blend.

In a region where most women don't own land or businesses, the
coffee farmers of Tierra Nueva are joining hands to change women's
lives. Through the co-op, women participate in leadership training to
learn new skills and gain confidence. Tierra Nueva has also used coffee
income to form a credit union that gives loans specifically to women. As
more women become farm owners, they build better futures through each
coffee harvest.
From their hands to yours, enjoy this delicious harvest.

Members of Las Colinas
In a country once torn apart by civil war, the farmers of Las
Colinas have grown coffee against all odds. In 1980, government land
reform gave many poor Salvadorans their own land. But without technical
assistance or access to bank credit, most of these farmers went
bankrupt. And yet the farmers of Las Colinas co-op persevered. They
learned how to run a business. They learned how to farm successfully.
Now they farm collectively on land once owned by one wealthy plantation
owner. And, they all share in the bounty of the coffee harvest.
Share in the bounty with every cup.
