OLVEAct With Us - Fair trade projects

Coconut Oil

By choosing OLVEA’s Fair for Life & Organic Coconut Oil, you directly contribute to the socio-economic development of local communities. Your support helps set-up impactful projects with social, economic, and environmental objectives, financed through Development Funds independently managed by OLVEA’s partner farmer organizations in Kenya. 

These projects empower communities to thrive by focusing on education, sustainability, and resilience. This cooperative effort has already led to the launch of several transformative initiatives, leaving a profound and enduring impact: 

Supporting education with shcool furniture

In several villages, the lack of proper school furniture was a significant barrier to effective learning. To address this issue, over 300 school desks were distributed, improving the learning environment for more than 600 students. These desks now offer children a comfortable and dignified space to study, helping to shape a brighter future for the next generation. 

Solving water scarcity at Juhudi Secondary schools

In regions facing severe water shortages, access to clean water is essential. To address this need, a 10,000-liter water tank was installed at a local secondary school. This tank provides water for drinking, handwashing, and sanitation while also promoting water conservation practices among students and the broader community. By encouraging sustainable water usage, the project is fostering long-term resilience in the face of water scarcity. 

Building resilience through coconut seedling

During the droughts of 2015–2017 and the more recent one in 2022–2023, coconut farming communities faced significant challenges. To support them in their recovery and help them adapt, the Fair for Life committee initiated a seedling distribution program. By partnering with certified nursery operators, the committee provided coconut seedlings to farmers, giving them the resources needed to restore their farms and secure their livelihoods.
