Cafe Femenino Coffee FArmer

Out of Peru comes a story of strength, unity and hope. A niche coffee, Cafe Femenino Peru, has evolved that is changing the role of women in rural coffee communities. Female coffee growers have become better educated, organized, and for the first time are producing women's coffee as a specialty commodity. This Fair Trade and organic certified coffee is grown, processed and traded exclusively by women. The women then decide how to use the additional funds to better their lives and those of their children.

The women farmers participate in all farm activities. They prepare the terrain, nurseries, and the compost. They fertilize the soil and prepare bio-fertilizers, as well as harvesting,
de-pulping, fermenting, and drying of the coffee.

It is rare for women to participate in selling the coffee or decisions on how the money from coffee sales will be used.

Cafe Femenino works to raise self-esteem and to change the view of women's roles. They are starting economical activities that generate sales the women can control. The women's response to these organizational activities has been amazing. Even the support offered by community leaders and other men has gone well.

The women's conferences have focused on building self-esteem and leadership, and sharing their experiences from work in the field to participation in other organizations.
