We receive some “core” funding from the Ministry of the Attorney General, Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Health; but, fundraising activities are vital in order to offer many of our programs and services.

Sisters' Story Coffee
Sisters' Story Coffee - June 22, 2021, Toronto -
Born out of a mission to empower women across borders and within local communities, Sisters’ Story Coffee – a first-of-its-kind Canadian coffee brand, launches today. Sisters’ Story Coffee is made from organic and Fairtrade Certified coffee beans exclusively purchased from farms owned and operated by Indigenous women in the Andes of Northern Peru.
15% of each online sale of Sisters’ Story Coffee will go to a participating Canadian women’s shelter or sexual assault centre of the purchaser’s choice. (We're in.)
Sister’s Story Coffee is an initiative by Sumac Community Worker Co-operative, a Canadian employee-owned social enterprise with a vision to build a caring economy. The initiative was inspired by Café Femenino, a Fairtrade Certified coffee co-operative founded by a group of entrepreneurial women farmers in Peru, and from which Sisters’ Story solely purchases its coffee beans.
The Indigenous women in these rural areas live in male-dominated societies, experience violence and have very little financial or decision-making power, despite carrying the majority of the workload in the home and in labour-intensive coffee production. Café Femenino enables women farmers to grow and sell their own product, providing them with direct payment and a Fairtrade premium to invest in their businesses and communities.
