Luha and Issel have dedicated themselves to their family's farm in Santiago de Puringla, Honduras, where the coffee industry has long been dominated by men.  

These sisters have defied the cultural landscape to become an integral part of the coffee-growing community through their various projects:  

• Establishing a local roastery with plans to open a coffee shop
• Forming a co-op that now operates its own mill
• Pursuing diversification efforts to create additional sources of income through products like honey and fruit wines.
