Because Supporting Women’s Mental Health
is the Most Powerful Step Toward
Equity in Coffee
What We Do
We support women coffee farmers in Colombia through a 5-month integrative mental health care and wellness program that blends teletherapy, virtual education, and community-based support to strengthen their emotional wellbeing, so they can live healthier
and more fulfilling lives.
Your $25 monthly gift gives a woman coffee farmer full access to the SANA program, supporting her mental health and well-being.
LEANIS
“This program helped me overcome obstacles I didn’t even realize I had, which was a huge step forward both personally and professionally. I confronted the hidden sadness that had weighed me down since childhood. The experience was truly transformative—not just for me, but for my family. My relationship with my daughter and husband has improved so much.”
Theory of Change
Gender Equity Starts with Mental Health. By providing integrative care, we support women coffee farmers to strengthen their emotional wellbeing, and develop a personal toolkit to navigate life’s challenges. This approach helps them to reduce stigma, break cycles of silence, and build agency, so they can live healthier, more fulfilling lives, not just as farmers, but as leaders and change-makers in their families and communities.
The Problem
Women coffee farmers face some of the highest mental health risks, yet almost no access to tailored care. They perform nearly 70% of farm labor, often unrecognized and unpaid, while facing other systemic inequities like, gender-based violence, limited land ownership, and the triple burden of caregiving, household duties, and farm work. On top of that, mental health services in rural Latin America are scarce, with less than 2% of health budgets allocated and just 2.8 psychologists per 100,000 people—mostly in cities. Stigma, isolation, and lack of time leave their needs invisible and unmet.
Our Impact
39 women coffee farmers and laborers completed our pilot program.
66 women coffee farmers are currently enrolled in a SANA program.
We have reached women in seven rural coffee regions of Colombia.
Right now, a woman coffee farmer is facing her struggles alone. But tomorrow? She could be prioritizing her mental health and improving her well-being in a supportive community—because of you.
