"Thanks to the whole community for the coffee I’ve planted. I planted this coffee because my husband had an accident, we were working together to look after our children, but because of the accident we can’t pay for our children’s school. I planted my coffee and now it’s flowering and it’s beautiful. The first one has yielded fruit I’m hoping next year I’ll have more, and it’ll help my family and my children. I’ll be happy with it"
