January 24, 2014 - Debeka Village, Ethiopia - Ayantu Gumi, 45, the wife of beneficiary Ayele Dergaso, 65, makes Ethiopian coffee by first roasting coffee beans. Afterwards the beans will be ground in a wooden mortar and then brewed in a Jebena (a pottery boiling pot). The Beneficiary Mr. Dergaso is a member of the Kelaltu Hasse Gola Multipurpose Cooperative. After the introduction of the Livelihood Diversification for Small Holder Coffee Farmers in Ethiopia program, by the Ethio-Wetlands and Natural Resources Association (EWNRA), the cooperative selected him as a beneficiary in 2012. They choose him to be trained in ox fattening and he has thrived under the program. (Photo by Ric Francis)
