OUR MISSION

YAVA is building the health of rural villages in eastern Indonesia. A "healthy village" has adequate jobs available and fair markets for small farmers. Empowering women is a critical ingredient of our building village capacity.

YAVA takes on this challenging work enthusiastically – and seriously. So, we keep score. You're invited to return frequently to track our progress along with us. See our latest mission report here.

ANAKARDIA KIDS

AnaKardia Kids is located on-site at our factory and hosts 50 children daily. The unusual name comes from the Latin word for the cashew tree anacardium occidentale and the inconesian word for child (anak).

AnaKardia Kids gives the children of Desa Ban a head start in life by providing a safe, healthy and enriching early learning environment. We are proud to give the children of our community a chance ..

FARMER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

YAVA takes the livelihoods of our farmers and the use of local land seriously. Our farmer engagement includes instructing about sustainable farming techniques, creating Village Drying Centers, and the improving cashew trees through a seeding nursery distribution program.

YAVA works with our supplying local farmers as long-term partners. This takes two forms:

Providing fundamental information on sustainable practices such as mulching, pruning and using locally available fertilizers, and
Collaborating to improve or create new crop economic opportunities.
