2008 Program 2009 Highlights 6 Participant Profiles Participant Profile:

FranciscaFrancisca CuparCupar GonzálezGonzález “I have seven children and the courses on reproductive health and nutrition have helped me a lot. I have learned about preventing illnesses that affect women and how to prepare medicines with herbs that we have in the community. Before the lessons I didn’t know that some women’s diseases could be prevented.”

“Among other things, I have learned how to make aloe-vera and epazote (Mexican Tea) soaps that are very good for our bodies.”

Francisca Cupar González, of San Juan La Laguna, Guatemala, participates in the Reproductive Health Project man- aged by Coffee Kids’ partner APROS.

8 Participant Profile:

José Silvestre Xalix Morales “I like listening to the classes on the radio every evening after work. My favorite subject is mathematics, but what I like the most is that now I can talk about school and homework with my children and my wife.”

“I try to do the homework every day and keep up with the workbook. My family helps me prepare before class and if I have questions about the lessons, ADESPA helps me with tutorials every week, so it helps me study and keep up with my grades.”

José Silvestre Xalix Morales participates in the adult education project managed by Coffee Kids’ partner, ADESPA, in Paraxaj, Guatemala.

9 Participant Profile:

Iveth Araúz Zeledón “We have learned about self-esteem and how to organize our own groups. We now contribute to our family economy, and know that we are equal with men. Empowerment doesn’t mean we’re against men, but we know that we deserve to be treated equally and have the same opportunities”.

“I grew up seeing bad things. I used to see men and husbands telling their wives to make tortillas, to grind the corn, to wash the corn, to clean the corn, sometimes even to go and pick it at the parcel. But now I cannot stand all that. If my husband wants me to cook tortillas, then he has to help pick and grind it. If he is kind to me then I will gladly look after him and do my part. If he is not gentle, then I can tell him to pick up his things and leave.”

Iveth Araúz Zeledón, of Agua Amarilla, Nicaragua, is the leader of a microcredit and savings group supported by Coffee Kids.

10 Participant Profile:

Keylin Pérez Martinez “In the group I have learned to be more tolerant and supportive of others. I have learned to see things from a different perspective. Before joining the group, I didn’t hesitate to throw garbage on the street. Now, I think twice before doing it. I can see the connection between that action and the natural degradation in my community and other parts of the world.”

“When we began, people made fun of us when we organized cleaning brigades in the streets. They used to call us “the crazies” or “the cleaning service”. But now people have stopped laughing and we see them throwing less garbage in the street and burning less garbage. People have come to value our work little by little and we can see results now.”

Keylin Pérez Martinez is president of the Coffee Kids-supported Environmental Youth Movement in the community of Santa Isabel, Nicaragua. She wants to be an agronomist.

11 Participant Profile:

Valentina Pérez Hernandez “I’m happy that we have the microcredit group here in Tierra Blanca. With the credit, I can buy cheese in the next town and sell it here because we have no cheese in our community. We are just starting our group, but the earnings help me care for my youngest son who is seven and my grandson who is five.”

“Few things arrive in the community because the closest city is about three hours from here. When I come with the cheese, people buy it immediately.”

Valentina Pérez Hernández is a member of the Tierra Blanca micro- credit savings group managed by Coffee Kids’ partner FomCafé in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.

21 Coffee Kids helps coffee-farming families improve the quality of their lives.

What we do Help coffee-farming families alleviate their dependency on coffee through economic diversification. Facilitate forums where local community groups identify their most pressing problems and implement their own long-term solutions.

Educate coffee consumers and businesses about prevailing conditions in coffee- growing communities and let them know what they can do to help. How we do it We believe that people hold the solutions to their own problems. We listen as local community groups identify their needs and priorities, and we support them as they design sustainable solutions.

We create partnerships with nonprofit organizations that work directly within the communities. Long-term, consistent involvement by well-equipped local partners provides the follow-through that ensures the success of our programs.

We provide the resources that enable coffee-growing communities to put their vision into action.

We facilitate exchanges that allow our partners to come together and learn from one another.
