Dominican Republic Barahona Fair Trade Organic

The Café Femenino Coffee Project is a social program run by and for women coffee producers in rural communities around the world.  More than 1,500 women in six countries are active in the project that helps women achieve empowerment, build social and support networks, and earn incomes through the production and sale of the Café Femenino Coffee.

The success of the Project led to the creation of The Café Femenino Foundation, which provides grants to selected programs and projects that enhance the lives of women and their families in coffee growing communities around the world. cafefemenino.com
