Andre and Anastasie Samvora and their children enjoy much better nutrition after planting a new kitchen garden in their yard. They’ve improved their farming operation and now market their rice through the co-op. They and 18,000 other farm households in Rwanda are members of 15 co-operative enterprises that have adopted new farming, crop storage, business management and gender equality techniques through our Rwanda project.

Women farmers like Luisa Fernando Padilla (left, with her father and mother) are finally earning income for their labour. Luisa, who pioneered the production of an artisinal cheese for her cattle ranching association, is one of a growing number of trailblazing women entering the workforce in rural Colombia, aided by our IMPACT project.

When I got back from Nepal I wanted to do what I could to help contribute to CDF Canada. There are many ways that all of us can contribute to making the co-op system a better system in our world. Watch my video to learn the one simple way I do it.

Gay Lea employee donations have been put to excellent use in Rwanda. I’ve seen first-hand how our support has resulted in higher crop yields and better quality food, directly improving the lives of co-op families. It was also evident to me that our partner families are healthier and their communities are stronger because of the project’s strong gender equality training.
