CCDA / Guatemala / 2007 / 29 mins
The CCDA (An Indigenous Organization in the Highlands of Guatemala) since 1982 have been helping Gautemalan peasants access land and stand up for human and labour rights. They are providing an alternative to coffee farmers who work on Fincas (Industrial Coffee Farms) and Small Coffee Farmers who sell to Coyotes (middleman who impose low prices and cheat the farmers from their coffee production) by providing FAIR TRADE pricing for the coffee. The CCDA currently helps out 1800 Coffee Farmers = 7000 family members and in total 50,000 Guatemalans with jobs in rural development, processing the coffee from cherry form and building homes for families who live in subhuman conditions.
