About Yava:
In 2012, in the village of Desa Ban, in a shed with a handful of people and a few sacks of cashew nuts, YAVA was born. Now, over 300 people work at and help lead the factory in Desa Ban. It puts into the local economy millions of $US as it pays for local ingredients and wages.
And, operations have expanded to include producing dried fruits and coconut strips in the village of Oka, in eastern Flores - an area with even greater needs at this point.
