Coffee Kids

Twenty five million families around the world work in the coffee fields. These families struggle to survive on low wages, earning around 4 cents for every pound of coffee picked.

The Coffee Kids® mission is to help coffee-farming families improve their quality of life. To this end, they work with local organizations in Latin America to create programs in education, health awareness, microcredit and food security in coffee-farming communities. These efforts allow coffee farmers to reduce their dependence on the volatile coffee market and confront the most pressing community needs.

• Coffee Kids partners with local organizations in coffee regions that work directly with coffee-farming communities.

• Coffee Kids helps to provide technical resources, training and follow-through to communities to implement grass-roots projects.

• All projects are designed by community members and based on their needs and priorities.

Because every coffee-farming community is unique, every Coffee Kids project is unique. What is common is an attitude of respect for all people’s values, cultural integrity, intelligence and ingenuity.

S&D is honored to be able to commit a portion of proceeds from every pound of our Buffalo & Spring coffee line sales to this wonderful organization. For more information, please visit www.coffeekids.org.
