Cultivating Quality and Empowerment
The Thuura Coffee Project is a cornerstone of our mission, transforming lives through sustainable agriculture and economic empowerment. Our project started with a vision to provide farmers with high-quality coffee seedlings and the necessary support to thrive in the coffee industry.
We established the coffee nursery to ensure that local farmers have access to superior coffee seedlings. This initiative not only enhances the quality of coffee produced but also offers economic support to farmers who may not afford to buy seedlings from other sources. By providing these seedlings, we are laying the foundation for a prosperous and sustainable coffee farming community.
Turning Water into Opportunity
Once water became available for irrigation, the idea of a community coffee farm took root. With water as a vital resource, we could irrigate the fields and nurture the coffee plants, making our vision a reality.
Empowering Farmers
Our approach is comprehensive, focusing on both education and practical support. Initially, we selected 52 families for intensive training in the business of coffee farming and provided each family with 150 coffee plants. This foundational support enabled them to start their coffee farming journey on solid ground.
Building on this success, we expanded our training program to include 200 more families, each receiving the same level of training and support. This expansion has significantly increased the number of coffee plants in the ground, creating a robust and thriving coffee farming community.
Creating Sustainable Growth
With thousands of coffee plants now thriving and a direct market in the US identified, our community is poised for positive economic transformation. The income generated from coffee farming has freed up labor and resources, allowing families to invest in better opportunities for their children.
