Why are we supporting a storage center in Southwestern #Uganda in 2018? Gaita Kariuki describes how proper storage is a REAL solution to improving the livelihoods of small-scale farmers in East Africa. Invest in local solutions. #InvestinChangeLeaders. lnk.al/5VUh
We continue to celebrate NEW BEGINNINGS! #LasDiosas will support 10 NEW WOMEN in 2018 to diversify their income with beekeeping. Why? "The extra income I get from beekeeping helps me feed my family and buy the medicines that we need to stay healthy." -Luisa Irias Olivas
So proud to work with #ChangeLeaders like Juana from #LasDiosas Cooperative in Nicaragua. "As a cooperative, we are more conscious and resilient to climate change because we know how to use our land, and we are not ruining it." -Juana Olivas Calero, organic coffee producer
In 2018, our #ChangeLeaders in #Ecuador and #Uganda will unveil their new centers for the storage, sale, and distribution of quality coffee! We couldn't be more excited for 2018. Our resolution? End 2018 with the same feeling of gratefulness with which we ended 2017. THANK YOU!
New year, new beginnings! THANK YOU, @JavaJog, for supporting our #ChangeLeaders in #Ecuador to get one step closer to fully launching their NEW processing and distribution center in 2018! xitter.cf/JavaJog/status/9450037…
The end of 2017 brought amazing gifts to our #ChangeLeaders in #Uganda! In 2018, we will continue to work on #NowAfricaInitiative's storage center to raise farmer incomes and improve coffee quantity and quality in Nyamigoye Parish. Happy new storage center, and Happy New Year!

Ever wonder how you could support #ChangeLeaders in communities around the world? Apply to work with our partners at lnk.al/3LPX
We're excited to be building a partnership with lnk.al/3LPW in 2017. Gives new meaning to the phrase #we'reallphotographersnow
From all of us at TCC, #HappyValentine'sDay! How are you sharing your love with coffee communities and supporting their visions to thrive?
Just some Friday smiles because of a new library at Pueblo a Pueblo that we helped build through our consulting services.
We'll be at Canada's National Fair Trade Conference in #Halifax. What do you think #fairtradecoffee can teach us about Domestic Fair Trade?
