The SOCODEVI team in Canada is making daily efforts to maintain contact with our partner colleagues and to mitigate the impact of this crisis on these individuals, their families and the cooperating families supported. Here are some actions we have taken:
• Emergency plan put in motion as soon as the first bombing occurred;
• Reallocation of a portion of project budgets to assist cooperative families;
• Establishment of mechanisms for the delivery of aid;
• Establishment of processes for the distribution of aid to communities by our teams on the ground.

Development of Cooperatives
Contribute to developing inclusive, autonomous and sustainable cooperatives that will generate income for families and fight poverty.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE
In Vietnam, member families of the Evergreen cooperative, specialized in grape production, can now process their crops and improve their incomes. The donations collected by the SOCODEVI Foundation enabled them to purchase an industrial dryer, create jobs for women and develop a new economic activity for the cooperative.
TESTIMONIAL
“The equipment provided helped the cooperative make its production more profitable. The unsold grapes can now be dried, packaged and put on the market. Taking its support a step further, SOCODEVI helped develop a professional brand image for this product, which is a source of pride for the member producers.”

Gender Equality
Strengthening women’s empowerment is essential to ensure that they have better access to and control over resources.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE
In Ivory Coast, female members of UCONAKO, a rice processing cooperative, will have access to resources and tools to increase their incomes. Thanks to support from the SOCODEVI Foundation, a modern and efficient processing facility will be set up, thereby improving women’s working conditions and access to formal jobs.
TESTIMONIAL
“The equipment provided helped the cooperative make its production more profitable. The unsold grapes can now be dried, packaged and put on the market.

Combating Climate Change
Supporting our actions to fight climate change is a great way to help strengthen the adaptive capacities and resilience of families faced with related impacts, set up climate-smart agricultural practices and develop responsible waste management measures.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE
In recent years, Peru has been heavily affected by torrential rains, landslides and overflowing rivers. Support from the SOCODEVI Foundation has helped asparagus-producing families to resume their activities and implement measures to strengthen their resilience.
TESTIMONIAL
“The equipment provided helped the cooperative make its production more profitable. The unsold grapes can now be dried, packaged and put on the market. Taking its support a step further, SOCODEVI helped develop a professional brand image for this product, which is a source of pride for the member producers.”
