Reunion Island’s relationship with the Las Hermosas farmer project originated in 2004 with the discovery of an exemplary Colombian coffee being grown in a co-operative in the South Tolima region. Reunion Island supports the co-operative through the donation of funds to encourage projects that increase the standard of living in the area.
Currently, they have supported numerous projects:
-
Cupping lab in Ibague with the equipment required for coffee quality analysis;
-
Complete overhaul of sanitation and water purification systems for seven schools in the region;
-
Set-up of multiple computer labs within schools in the region for business and educational use.
-
Better social and economic conditions also create an environment where premium quality production is possible. As evidence of this, farmers from the Las Hermosas co-operative placed 1st, 3rd and 7th in Colombia’s Cup of Excellence competition.
