Location: Washington, United States of America

Summary

SID will help 3,000 coffee-farming families in Guatemala's poorest region graduate from poverty by helping them build successful family-farm enterprises. Farmers will increase their productivity and income from coffee. They will also learn to protect their farmland from soil erosion and landslides. Women will receive special assistance to increase their leadership and confidence so they play a more equal role. Farmers will increase income from $200 to $700 and reclaim 221 hectares of land.
