January 24, 2014 - Debeka Village, Ethiopia - Ayantu Gumi, 45, the wife of beneficiary Ayele Dergaso, 65, brews freshly roasted Ethiopian coffee beans in a Jabena (boiling pot); the pot is made of pottery. The beneficiary Ayele 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)
