Ericka’s story
We met Ericka in 2016.
Attention to detail, perseverance and love are a few words that describe Ericka Mora. She is the leader of E&F, which is an artisanal coffee farm producing deliciously high quality coffee located 1,600 meters above sea level in San Marcos, Costa Rica. However, things weren't always this way for Ericka.
Ericka had suffered from bone cancer that led her to amputate her right leg in 2015. The income she was able to receive coffee at the time wasn’t sufficient to cover neither her personal nor business expenses, and she and her family had to seek ways to improve their income sources.
Ericka’s story shows that a modest investment (~$350/year) generates long-term, sustained economic and social returns.

100,000 women coffee farmers by 2030.
