Christian Aid and Soppexcca: coffee farmers in Nicaragua

2011-12-12 61

For the last 12 years, Christian Aid partner Soppexcca has been helping to improve the lives of Nicaraguan coffee farmers. Soppexcca provides loans, credit and helps farming cooperatives process their beans so they can sell them at a higher price, whilst also protecting the environment. With support from Soppexcca, the farmers are exporting most of their production overseas and earning a fair price. With additional funds the farmers are now able to invest in community projects such as schools and pharmacies. http://www.christianaid.org.uk/getinvolved/christianaidweek/ http://www.caweek.org/
