Farmers Taking Control of their Futures

We have taken our destiny into our own hands. Through Fair Trade and the cooperative, we have seen much progress. We have good drinking water, toilet facilities and schools. Kuapa Kokoo pays the farmers on time and there is no cheating when cocoa is weighed. We meet every two weeks to share our problems. We are able to generate extra income through our soap and palm oil production, which helps us through difficult months. We can also take out loans, individually or in groups, through the Kuapa Credit Union.
