Buying this coffee means you make a big impact by empowering farmers in isolated co-operatives to build more sustainable and secure livelihoods.

NORMA GAEDA PAIVA MEMBER, SOPEXXCA CO-OPERATIVE, NICARAGUA Norma Elena is a pioneer farmer. “I am an organic coffee farmer and have been a member of SOPEXXCA for 8 years now. When I joined I was lucky to fi nd that there were a few other women involved so we could help one another. When I started there were fi ve and now there are 283 women farmers. In the beginning, all the coffee was put together and we didn’t separate it by gender. However later we began to separate the coffee harvested by the women for Equal Exchange. We got a good price plus an extra women’s premium for this coffee which was a real motivator for the women. We were always just housewives before, even though we were also working in the coffee fi elds. If people asked us if we worked, we would say no, no we don’t have a job because we never received a salary or any money for our work. The point is we didn’t value ourselves, we didn’t know how to. We want to give value and visibility to the important work that women do and which has traditionally been ignored. We no longer want to be forgotten or ignored.”
