Program accomplishments

  • In Guatemala, in 2024, we started a second phase in Alta Verapaz in response to some further needs from the farmers in the area. The project aims to help farmers access the specialty coffee market. Coffee with a quality rating over 80 is considered specialty coffee, and farmers in the project produce coffee that rates between 81 and 86.5. In order to help farmers access the specialty coffee market, we are helping them comply with the Starbucks Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) criteria. In addition, 241 families in the project established a producers' association, and we are helping the association's members to take on the marketing of their coffee. Farmers are doing a good job of adopting the Starbucks practices. Their adoption rate was above 50% for most groups of practices and in the high 80s for a few. Members of the Alta Verapaz producers' association sold a micro-lot of 10, 69-kilo bags of coffee to Zeke's Coffee, a D.C. roaster. Zeke's already expressed their interest in ordering another micro-lot for this harvest, plus an additional 40 bags to blend with other coffees.

  • In Uganda, in 2024, we continued our regional program in the Luweero District. Farmers in the general population are increasing their knowledge and adopting practices to help them graduate from poverty. The farmers in the early-adopter villages increased their productivity from 113 to 172 kilos per 1/4 acre of coffee, sold more coffee in dried cherries, and had significant price increases. As a result, they increased their income from $227 to $1,212. Also, the number of participating families increased from 1,705 to 1,861. 1,145 women started or expanded 28 different types of second businesses. All the women made business plans for their second businesses and evaluated their results. The average annual income for all the businesses was $92.

  • In Malawi, in 2024, we continued our regional program in the Central Region of the country, helping dairy producers graduate from poverty. We provide monthly technical assistance to 945 families in 63 villages, where the dairy farmers have agreed to adopt all the practices. We have provided the farmers with Lukina seeds and Rhodes grass to increase the cows' feeding and productivity. We also doubled the number of Artificial Insemination technicians and trained farmers on crucial animal health practices. 945 early-adopter families increased their productivity (liters per cow per day) from 8.50 to 10.33, their days of milk per year from 212 to 231, and their annual net income went from $165 to $547.
    Expenses $47,051 · revenue $79,015
  • In September 2024, we began a new project with 44,000 coffee-farming families in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. The project supports farmers in the Kagera Cooperative Union (KCU) and Kagera District Cooperative Union (KDCU). Most farmers there have only 70-150 coffee trees per acre, far below the recommended 450. The government offers free seedlings, and we helped organize their collection and planting. Since our program began in September, farmers planted 131,200 trees in 7 KCU villages and 321,000 in 11 KDCU villages. We provided technical support for planting, pruning, pest control, and mulching. By June, 2,522 families in over 100 villages increased productivity from 254 to 280 kilos of dried cherries per quarter acre and raised their income from $488 to $923.
    Expenses $28,149 · revenue $44,418
  • In Peru, in 2024 we continued to provide technical assistance to the dairy-producing families that receive loans from our micro-credit program. We helped farmers make business plans as well as improve their land-use plans. We provided technical assistance in the practices that improve the health and nutrition of their dairy cows.
