ForestAgroforestry
Shade trees distributed and crops grown under canopy: preserving the forest and soil fertility rather than clearing more of it.
ECA-PR / 03 — Sustainability
Sustainability, in the field.
The cooperative’s revenue goes back to its members, their children and their forest. Concrete commitments you can verify on the ground, not a brochure.
Commitments
Three concrete commitments.
Protecting the forest, protecting childhood, supporting women: each commitment translates into measurable action among our members.

Cocoa revenue comes back to the village.
Our community development plan runs over five years and covers all seven sections. It is financed by the cooperative and voted by its members, not by an outside donor.
Osekro primary school
Six classrooms, two teacher houses, a canteen and four latrines. The largest project the cooperative has carried out to date.
Equipped schools
More than 300 school desks given to schools in the sections, roofs repaired, classrooms and preschools built.
Water and access
Boreholes for drinking water and upkeep of the tracks linking the farming hamlets to the collection points.
Health and solidarity
A health centre, equipment donations and one-off support to members, notably during the health crisis.
