Coffee Vs Gangs
ON PATROL | ON THE FARM | ON THE RECORD
Seven days in Honduras on a Kenco training course for young farmers
The Kenco Coffee Vs Gangs project has been running for nine months in Honduras, a country wracked by gang violence and drug-related crime. Twenty young people, from disadvantaged areas, signed up to a course in the business of coffee, each hoping to carve out a second chance for themselves.
But has it worked? Gary Quinn and videographer Viv Maher went to Honduras to find out. Their series begins here

Why is The Irish Times following the Coffee Vs Gangs project?
This series is a sponsored project by Kenco to raise awareness about Honduras, its complicated social instability and the role of the coffee industry there.
It is structured around documenting the progress of a training course run by Kenco, designed to offer 20 young disadvantaged Hondurans an opportunity to develop careers in the coffee industry. This is the second year of the project. In year one, it won Gold and Silver at the Irish Digital Media Awards as well as being nominated for a Global Media Award by the International News Media Association (INMA)
