At HRNS we believe in people

Smallholder families are the core element for supplying the growing population. HRNS focusses on the livelihood situation of smallholder families in coffee regions working holistically in the areas of family business, organizational development, climate change, youth and gender. All with the aim to shape production systems and rural landscapes that are attractive to them. We are looking through the eyes of smallholders with a hands-on approach in the field. We are side-by-side with smallholder families and their reliable partner. As an implementing foundation with regional offices in focus countries, partnerships with other organizations and local authorities are a core element of HRNS' work.

Our global team is proud of what they do, working with all their heart and passion. We operate with a long-term orientation and commitment.

The focus is always to integrate participants into the local society and empower them to shape their own future.
