Honduras ~ Women Cooperative ~ COMUCAP
COMUCAP is a Cooperative established in 1993 by women for women seeking economic independence to support their families. The founders began a radio show to voice opportunity for impoverished women who didn’t own land, many being victims of domestic violence. These women realized the root of the problem was economic insecurity and began to look for ways to earn their own money. Banding together the women of COMUCAP were able to purchase one hectare of land and planted coffee. They now successfully own and farm over 37 hectares.
Thanks to COMUCAP many women have been able to rise above poverty, purchase their own land and create economic stability and freedom for themselves, while breaking the cycle of abuse and inequality.
