🎉 The commitment to Gender Equality and Education in Coffee-Producing Countries: the new project in Rwanda🎉 Given the excellent results achieved, the Fondazione Ernesto Illy and the Kahawatu Foundation are scaling up the Coffee Farmer Field School project in the Macuba sector, located in the Nyamasheke district. 📈 The new project aims to replicate the successful model of the women's cooperative "Abahuzamugambi Ba," promoting not only economic sustainability through the diversification of agricultural activities but also the empowerment of women and youth. 👩🌾👩🎓 Thanks to this initiative, an increasing number of beneficiaries will have access to resources, training, and opportunities for economic growth, contributing to a significant transformation of the local coffee sector. ☕🌱 The decision to scale up the project reflects the commitment of the two Foundations to support coffee-producing communities, fostering sustainable and inclusive development that can make a difference in the lives of thousands of people. 🌍💪 This project represents an important step forward for gender equality in the coffee sector, offering women not only economic growth opportunities but also a role of leadership and active participation in their communities. 🌟👩💼 #Sustainability #Empowerment #KahawatuFoundation #Coffee #SustainableDevelopment #GenderEquality #FemaleLeadership #Innovation #SustainableAgriculture

🎉Coffee Farmer Field School: Gender Empowerment in Rwanda🌱 We are excited to share the remarkable progress of the project conducted from 2019 to 2023 in collaboration with the Kahawatu Foundation in the Ngororero district, Rwanda. This initiative not only established a coffee plantation but also revolutionized the local agricultural sector by creating a Farmer Field School for the women of the Hindiro community, leading to the formation of a true women's coffee growers cooperative called "Abahuzamugambi Ba." In 2023, the Fondazione Ernesto Illy renewed its commitment to the project by introducing a new entrepreneurial component to the cooperative: pig farming. They donated 38 pigs to diversify the cooperative's income sources and increase its revenue, promoting economic sustainability. The initiative also aims at social sustainability by empowering women and fostering economic independence through the creation of a common cash fund to which each member contributes based on their ability. Lastly, the project supports environmental sustainability by creating a circular economy model where pig manure is used as organic fertilizer, contributing to more eco-friendly and sustainable farming practices. The Fondazione is committed to pursuing SDG n°5 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda by offering women opportunities for training, professional growth, and leadership in the coffee sector. As demonstrated by the project in Rwanda, the Fondazione supports initiatives and activities that bring about real change in people's lives, promoting inclusion and gender equality as fundamental pillars for sustainable development. 💪🌱 #Empowerment #Sustainability #Agriculture #Entrepreneurship #Rwanda #Socialproject #FondazioneKahawatu #FondazioneErnestoIlly

Yesterday, June 27th, the Auditorium “Salone degli Incanti” in Trieste, hosted the side event “The role of vocational education and training: case study in the field of coffee processing to foster sustainable development”, that illycaffè promoted together with Fondazione Ernesto Illy, during the G7 Education Ministerial Meeting. The event highlighted illycaffè and Fondazione Ernesto Illy unwavering commitment to education and support for coffee-producing countries, to create a positive impact on the global coffee community. The discussions underscored the crucial role of vocational training in the coffee sector as a tool to combat poverty and tackle the challenges of sustainability and climate change. If training is the leitmotif of every activity and constitutes the basis for the development of coffee communities, the Fondazione Ernesto Illy intervenes also in the face of certain local needs, with specific projects to mitigate and prevent social problems and promote the well-being of local communities. Many countries, for example, lack effective social infrastructure and sometimes children are not sufficiently protected. The Fondazione Ernesto Illy supports the construction of schools, educational services and health care for the children of coffee operators. The value of training as a tool to improve sustainability was the theme of the meeting, and we are proud to have participated with the Università del Caffè, illy’s knowledge hub, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Since the beginning it has been creating value through training activities and awareness-raising actions that aim to shape a sustainable coffee supply chain, which respects the environment, biodiversity and human rights. The event, attended by Giuseppe Valditara (Minister of Education and Merit), Gerardo PATACCONI (Head of Operation of the International Coffee Organization), Dr. Tidiane Ouattara (Representative of the African Union), Andrea Illy (Chairman of illycaffè), Andrea De Marco (Industrial Development Expert & Project Manager of UNIDO), Fernanda Maria Roche Soares dos Santos (Counsellor of the Embassy of Brazil), Stefania Giannini (UNESCO Deputy Director-General for Education) and Laura Frigenti (CEO of the Global Partnership for Education), concluded with a visit to the photographic exhibition “Amazônia” by Sebastião Salgado we’re supporting, offering a visual exploration of the richness and diversity of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest and its people. Thank you to all the participants! 🌱☕ #G7Italy #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #CoffeeCulture #UniversitàdelCaffè #VocationalTraining #GlobalEducation #illy #FondazioneErnestoIlly

L’#ascolto è il primo passo per comprenderci. Nuovo appuntamento con Maura Manca e le sue pillole dedicate alla costruzione di un #rapporto migliore tra genitori e #figli, ma anche tra docenti e #studenti. Oggi la #Psicoterapeuta e Presidente Osservatorio Nazionale Adolescenza Onlus spiega come #sintonizzarsi con l’altro partendo da un ascolto attivo e curioso. Un presupposto fondamentale per stare all'interno di una relazione. Gli appuntamenti con Maura Manca sono un'iniziativa di #School4Life, il programma di #ELIS accanto a docenti, genitori, ragazze e ragazzi per scoprire il talento di ciascuno e costruire il #futuro. Guarda tutte le puntate ▶️ https://bit.ly/3RDrJY9 Scopri School4Life: https://bit.ly/3Vrxmty Il progetto è sostenuto da: illycaffè, Fondazione Ernesto Illy, FINCANTIERI, Edison, Intesa Sanpaolo, UniCredit, Poste Italiane, Leonardo, Eni.

L'istruzione è alla base di ogni innovazione. Per questo siamo orgogliosi di partecipare, insieme alla Fondazione Ernesto Illy, al progetto School4Life coordinato da ELIS anche per il biennio 2023-2025, con l’obiettivo di promuovere la qualità della formazione e contrastare l’abbandono scolastico. Per due giornate nel mese di maggio abbiamo avuto l’onore di ospitare nella nostra sede gli studenti e le studentesse delle scuole superiori Di Savoia – Galvani e Da Vinci – Carli – Sandrinelli di Trieste, che aderiscono al progetto. Grazie al contributo dei docenti di Università del Caffè e del reparto HR&Organization, gli studenti hanno avuto l’opportunità di conoscere i mestieri che contribuiscono alla produzione di un caffè di qualità e di trarne ispirazione per il loro futuro. Sostenibilità per noi è pensare anche alle generazioni più giovani, avendo un impatto positivo sulle comunità. #QualityLovesDetails #School4Life #UniversitàDelCaffè #LIVEHAPPilly
