Our Shared Impact
One of the many producers supported through Shared Interest is Alice Kouassi Aya, a cocoa farmer living in rural Ivory Coast. Alice is a member of ECOOKIM - a co-operative that receives finance from Shared Interest to help farmers improve their businesses and livelihoods. This ethical finance has enabled Alice to strengthen her skills and build a more secure future for her family.
Alice said:
“I’ve been working with the co-operative for 4 years [...] They teach us how to work in the field. They teach us everything about growing cocoa [...] when I see my field, I am very happy.”
