Your Impact on CPCAs perceived by our Partner

Since 2010, Alterfin has provided crucial support to CPC, a coffee producers' cooperative in Laos. Through favorable loans with conditions tailored to their needs, our support has proven to be a decisive factor for the long-term development of CPC.

Thanks to you, dear members of Alterfin, the concrete and positive impact of our activities becomes evident within the CPC cooperative, among the farmers working there, and especially within their entire community.

Your values of solidarity, social justice, and sustainability thus become truly tangible. Let's look at some testimonials we gathered during our impact study this fall within the CPC.

TestimonialS

"I had funds in a savings account but realized they could be better used elsewhere. So, I decided to invest them with Alterfin. Now, these funds can be useful to small entrepreneurs and farmers, helping them start their business and become self-reliant."

Augustin D.
24 years old, cooperator since March 2019

"Last year, we had to borrow from Alterfin to pre-finance our farmers earlier than usual to ensure their loyalty in a growingly competitive environment. Alterfin's flexibility and responsiveness to our needs help us navigate a challenging coffee market in a volatile global economic context."

Yannick Lamezec
Technical Advisor at CPC

"Another advantage of being a cooperative member is getting good prices. With these prices, we can invest in things that improve our work, which is really important. In addition, we get compost from CPC that helps us have healthy coffee plantations before harvest."

"The loans that Alterfin grants to its partners positively impact the local economy in the countries where it is active. I am convinced that people in low- and middle-income countries want to move forward and take the initiative to develop their businesses. The main obstacle is often the lack of money, and that's where Alterfin comes in."

Raymond D.
79 years old, cooperator since 2005

"For me, the most crucial aspect is truly the social impact. Investing my money doesn't bother me at all, even if the return doesn't match, for example, the stock market or a savings plan. Indeed, with Alterfin, I know exactly what my investment will contribute to."

Amandine P.
35 years old, cooperator since January 2023

"Thanks to CPC, I can send my child to school, repay my debts, and save money. The cooperative has brought positive changes to our community, including better infrastructure and access to low-interest funds. Now, with the school and clinic nearby, I can save on expenses."

Solidarity campaign: 3 areas of expertise, 1 goal

Faced with a complex political context and budget cuts, organisations active in international cooperation have every interest in joining forces. That is why this year we are running a joint campaign with the NGOs Humundi (formerly SOS Faim) and Rikolto. With a rich shared history, our approaches are highly complementary. So it's no surprise that we have a few partners in common. Two examples in Peru are Arariwa and Casil.

30 years

Partnerships that matter

Alterfin’s 30th anniversary also marks three decades of collaboration with organizations that, like us, are committed to fair finance, sustainable development, and equal opportunities for all.
