Ardent Widows Program
(AWP)
Building Homes. Restoring Hope.
ABOUT AWP
A Home Means More Than Shelter
The Ardent Widows Program (AWP) was created to support widows living in the coffee-growing communities that are at the heart of Ardent.
Through the program, Ardent constructs homes for widows and their families, providing a safer and more secure place to live and helping create a foundation for greater stability, dignity, and hope.
So far, Ardent has constructed more than 40 homes for widows across Sidama and Yirgacheffe, and our commitment continues.
Why we do it?
DIGNITY
A home families can be proud of.
SECURITY
A safer and more stable living environment.
OPPORTUNITY
A stronger foundation for families to rebuild, & grow.
COMMUNITY
Investing back into the places behind our coffee.
OUR IMPACT
More than 40 homes have already been built in Sidama and Yirgacheffe, but the need remains.
Behind every home is a person, a family, and a new chapter. Each AWP project is an opportunity to create meaningful, lasting change within the communities where Ardent works.
Supporting the Communities Behind Our Coffee
COMMUNITY & FUTURE IMPACT
Coffee connects Ardent to communities across Ethiopia. We believe those relationships should extend beyond the coffee harvest.
By providing homes for widows facing difficult circumstances, AWP turns part of the value created through coffee into something lasting—a place a family can call home.
