One dollar, one roof, one new life: the organic banana revolution in Piura

In La Matanza, Morropón, organic bananas not only sustain the economy of hundreds of families, they have also begun to transform their lives. Thanks to the Fair Trade model, the workers of Agronegocios San Miguel Arcángel decide in assembly how to invest the funds to improve their communities. Decent kitchens, bathrooms, secure roofs and floors have become symbols of a quiet transformation that is spreading through the heart of Piura’s countryside.
