Defending coffee culture in Colombia

We believe that economic and social sustainability means investing in the future of the communities that work with us, starting with training.

Education and coffee, together for a better future

Part of our coffee comes from 64 rural schools in the Cauca region of Colombia.

We have funded these schools through the Escuela y Café project, with the aim of reducing school dropouts, tackling child labour and improving education. The schools teach students professional skills and innovative techniques that they can pass on to their families, who are also coffee growers.

Taking home important knowledge

Escuela y Café also aims to incentivize schooling in areas that often deprive the younger generations of this opportunity.

The project also provides students with 1,500 coffee seeds per year, so that they can plant them in their family’s farm and enjoy a productive plantation at the end of their 6 years at school.

This means having the economic resources to attend university or start their own business.
