Empowering women coffee producers
Farm Africa is thrilled to be back at The London Coffee Festival this year! This year is Farm Africa’s 40th birthday and we’re celebrating four decades of creating impact using the power of sustainable farming to change lives and protect the planet.
Come to our stand in Hyde Park to say hello and find out more about the female coffee producers that grow the coffee you love to drink.
It’s well known that women provide much of the labour in coffee farming but are held back by challenges that mean they earn less, and struggle to access land, finance and training.
Did you know that coffee production is estimated to be 20-30% lower than it could be if women were more empowered?
Increased coffee production leads to higher incomes. Women tend to spend their income on their family, which makes empowering women really important for creating brighter futures for coffee growing families.
Farm Africa has helped thousands of female coffee producers in Uganda overcome some of the barriers they face. This has led to increases in incomes for women as well as a greater say in how that income was used, resulting in better housing, more kids in school and access to medical care.
You can help empower more women coffee farmers, by grabbing a London Coffee Festival tote bag and donating £5. Find us at the bag counter by the Brick Lane entrance, where you will also have the chance to win enter our draw to win prizes.
