Women-Powered Coffee
MISSION
We build thriving businesses with smallholder women coffee farmers in Latin America.
THE PROBLEM
Women are the backbone of coffee farming, making up 70% of the workforce, yet they earn less than 20% of the industry’s revenue. This inequity keeps families trapped in cycles of poverty, food insecurity, and climate vulnerability.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
OPPORTUNITY
Our goal is to transform the livelihoods of 5 million women coffee farmers globally, reaching 10,000 by 2030 to claim their share of this $400 billion market.
With the right training, funding, market access, and business support, smallholder women coffee farmers can grow successful farm businesses.
THRIVING BUSINESS FRAMEWORK
STEP 1: INCUBATION
We equip farmers with the skills and resources— including micro-grants— to build and grow profitable farms.
STEP 2: MENTORSHIP
We foster peer learning and networking, including an annual gathering of women in coffee.
STEP 3: MARKET
We connect women to global buyers for direct market access, earning 3x prices.
We work with farmers for the long term, offering personalized mentorship, masterclasses, and networking opportunities to ensure their businesses grow sustainably.
