About us

We are a community of entrepreneurs who have joined forces in 2010 in order to contribute to a better nutrition, the cascading of so-called waste and to fight poverty and hunger.

Our business concept is based on the mushroom cultivating method on coffee grounds developed by Chido Govera. The earnings of our sustainable trade will enable Chido Govera in her role as an associate to expand her activities in poor regions of the world.
