They offer services such as family planning, nutrition programs, agricultural practices and even providing cows and goats to their members. These initiatives have changed the lives of many of their members. Coffee production has increased from 3 kgs to 4 kgs per tree. The washing station moved from producing 3 containers to 6 containers of green coffee.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"field\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eLooking forward, WCE has goals to continue to expand programs for the benefit of their members.
