Our Partners

Meet our Community and Implementing Partners

We use the knowledge of local and regional development organizations, who we call Implementing Partners, and the dedication of our coffee farming communities, who we call Community Partners to build lasting, community-appropriate solutions to food insecurity using sustainable, agroecological practices.

Community Partners

The organizations we work with represent more than 8,000 coffee-farming families in Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico. We break them into two categories: collaborative and independent.

Collaborative Community Partners

To address the systemic challenges at the heart of food insecurity, we use the power of collaboration with coffee farming communities to develop strategies that reflect their needs and priorities. We ensure they have the necessary tools and resources to build food independence and new economic opportunities. Every aspect of our work focuses on building our partners’ capacity to develop, manage, and sustain food security and livelihoods work on their own. From the diagnosis of an appropriate strategy to activity management, monitoring and evaluation, to ultimately creating new business ventures, we work alongside our Community Partners to ensure they can take control of food security in their communities.

Independent Partners

Our goal for every Community Partner is that they become independent and no longer need our involvement.

Implementing Partners

We connect our Community Partners with local and regional development organizations who have reliable track records of implementing food security or agricultural diversification programs. To be successful, their mission and approach must be aligned with our own, as well as with the Community Partner’s goals. Our Implementing Partners build and sustain long-term, effective solutions to food insecurity.
