Coffee Farmers

Landmine survivor Isaac Wetewabo shares his hopes as he struggles to provide for his family. The Coffeelands trust, a fund created in 2005, provides support for coffee farmers, like Isaac, and their families impacted by landmines in conflict and post-conflict regions of the world through rehabilitation, training, coffee farm improvements, housing, and small business development.

Polus Center and it’s Lake Kivu Coffee Alliance partners, Higher Grounds Coffee, and U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs/Office of Weapon’s Removal and Abatement, are helping coffee producers like Cifa (below) who have been injured by landmines and other explosive remnants of war by providing much needed support and rehabilitation.
