To enable the poor, especially women, to create a world without poverty.

Enhancing the lives of women and families in remote coffee producing communities throughout the world. #grantingHOPEworldwide The Cafe Femenino Foundation (CFF) offers hope, opportunity, aid, and encouragement to disenfranchised women in the poorest and least accessible areas of coffee-growing countries. These women perform much of the physical labor required to grow and harvest coffee, yet they have almost no influence on decisions about their family’s income. They are typically uneducated, impoverished and disconnected from resources. We enhance the status of the women by empowering them with skills and income producing opportunities by providing small grants and micro-loans to help the women and their families diversify their income sources. The grants improve the nutrition, health and education of their families and communities. The foundation also provides emergency aid when there is typically none. Since 2004, the Cafe Femenino Foundation has funded grants received directly from the women coffee producers in 10 different countries.
