Sumatra Resilience & Rebuilding Effort

Join our urgent mission to support the Ketiara Cooperative—our women-led partners in the Gayo Highlands—who are isolated and have lost everything to the recent climate disaster. Your immediate financial assistance today creates a lifeline: providing life-saving power, Starlink for critical communication access, and essential food supplies.

Ibu Rahmah (pictured in red) is the cooperative's founder and chairwoman and is mobilizing humanitarian and community supplies to help their community of farmers.

We are partnering with Fairtrade America to provide $5 from every bag sold that supports Phase I of the life-saving effort.

Inspiring entrepreneurship

The Ketiara Cooperative is a thriving collective of more than 1,500 smallholder farmers led by founder and chairwoman Ibu Rahmah — 1,100 of them women — located in the Gayo Highlands of western Sumatra. Ibu Rahmah began as a farmer herself and started the cooperative to create financial opportunity for herself and her community.

Founded to empower women and protect the region’s local ecosystem, the Fairtrade International co-op is a leader in regenerative, shade-grown farming and gender equity in coffee.

Since our partnership began in 2014, the co-op has tripled in membership and yield—proof of what’s possible when community, the environment, and quality grow together and the strength of a coffee bean.
