Bugkalot Coffee

Deep within the rural communities of the Philippines, live some of the poorest of the country. The communities covered under this project are rural tribal communities (called Barangays) situated in remote mountain areas within the municipality of Dupax del Sur, in the province of Nueva Vizcaya. Within Dupax del Sur, Abaca & Talbek (the Bugkalot barangays) are some of the poorest barangays, given their remote location, low education level, lack of infrastructure, and low economic activity.

Eco-Tourism

Wild Sumatra Tours works with rural communities to empower local guides, helping connect them with off-the-beaten-path adventurers looking for authentic trekking and cultural experiences in the Bengkulu region. Due to the impact of COVID on tourism, they’ve expanded their efforts to include sustainable coffee production and agricultural research and development. Working and offering training with their local communities empowers the local cultures to take pride in themselves, their culture, and their environment.
