Thanks to the involvement of local communities, the Makaya project has generated lasting impacts:

• 1,200 women and men producers trained in climate-smart practices;
• 10 coffee production and processing cooperatives strengthened;
• In total, more than 13,000 people have been supported.

The project also enabled more than 350 women and young entrepreneurs to achieve economic independence through training, tailored support, and microgrants to launch or grow their businesses.

Today, the Kafé Makaya project has come to an end, but the seeds it planted continue to bear fruit. The knowledge gained, the skills developed, and the initiatives put in place continue to have an impact within the communities, by generating income and stability.

This is the power of the snowball effect: a single action today can transform lives for years to come.

Your generosity helps support projects like this one, which draw on local knowledge, community empowerment, and women’s transformative leadership to build a more just and sustainable future.

In Jordan, where economic opportunities for women remain limited, we have launched—in partnership with our local partner I-Dare—an innovative project aimed at transforming creativity into a real source of income.

Through informational sessions, hands-on workshops, and entrepreneurship coaching, participants have acquired technical skills in resin crafting while learning to develop and structure a viable business.

Beyond the income generated, the project builds participants’ confidence, fosters mutual support, and creates a lasting impact within communities, as many participants are now passing on what they have learned to other women.

Ruqayyah’s story, a Young Entrepreneur

After participating in a workshop on creating handmade resin crafts, Ruqayyah discovered that she could turn her talent into a real business venture.

Today, she designs and sells her own jewelry, inspired by her culture and tailored to her local market.

This business allows her to generate income and look to the future with confidence.

When you support one person, an entire community moves forward. That’s the power of the snowball effect—an effect set in motion by a single snowflake: your donation.
