Kuli Kuli 2016 IMpact Report
WHAT WE DO Moringa thrives in regions with high malnutrition, but its nutritional benefits remain largely untapped. We work with women-owned farming cooperatives in Ghana, Haiti, and Nicaragua to create a market for moringa, support sustainable livelihoods, and nourish communities.

Ghana
The Impact we Seek (in all of our communities) ● End malnutrition. - Given the incredible nutrient content of moringa, no one should have to go hungry or be undernourished.
● Empower women to achieve gender equality. Moringa is a valuable tool in addressing gender equity in the countries in which it grows. Also, in its own operations Kuli Kuli takes care to ensure an equitable balance of women, particularly in leadership positions.
● Plant a tree for each household. - Planting trees can help address many of the changes Kuli Kuli seeks to make in the world from providing employment and nourishment to helping protect the environment.
GHANA Over the past 3 years, we’ve created a sustainable livelihood for hundreds of women farmers in Ghana. We also partner with nonprofit to train farmers how to best grow moringa and use it to improve nutrition locally.

NICARAGUA About 75% of Nicaraguans live on less than $2 per day, making Nicaragua one of the poorest countries in Latin America.* We source moringa from a certified organic, family-owned farm in Nicaragua, which sustains the livelihoods of over a hundred rural farmers and teaches other farmers how to grow moringa.
