Level Ground Trading

Level Ground Trading was founded by four Canadian families for the purpose of improving the lives of disadvantaged producers through trade. The company's first trade relationship was setup through Hugo Ciro with a cooperative of small-scale coffee farmers in Antioquia, Colombia. From interviews and visits with community members Hugo heard that the farming families' greatest desire was to see their children go to school. Hugo found a group of dedicated teachers and community members who joined together to form Famicafé.
