Our Projects

Nicaragua

In addition to practicing sustainable agriculture, El Recreo Estate has developed an educational program to further their mission of “Learning to Compete Better.” El Recreo combines theoretical and practical learning methods to provide coffee growers with a certification through the Instituto Nacional Tecnologico. Management training programs are offered over the course of seven months to farm supervisors and owners to cultivate leadership skills.

In addition, El Recreo has built a small primary school on its property to ensure that the children of the farm workers spend their days productively learning while their parents are at work.

For this endeavor, Farmer Friendly has donated enough funds for:

• Technical training courses for local coffee producers
• Agriculture courses for coffee producers
• Children’s nutrition
• Primary teachers’ training
• Books, notebooks, pencils
• Supplies for a daycare center
• Establishing a women’s bakery

Fabretto Children’s Foundation

As part of this partnership with El Recreo and Sam’s Club, Farmer Friendly has donated $50,000 to the Fabretto Children’s Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that enables impoverished Nicaraguan children and their families in under-served communities to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential, with programs that promote nutrition, health, education, community, and character development. We strongly believe in their efforts to educate and feed over 6,000 Nicaraguan children on a daily basis, and we know that their endeavors will make a very positive impact on all of their lives.
