Coffee For A Cause
THE LITTLE BEAN IN THE COMMUNITY - MAKING A DIFFERENCE At The Little Bean, we feel strongly about participating locally and globally, through sponsorships, product donations, and community events. The Little Bean is a proud sponsor of Coffee Kids, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping coffee-farming families improve the quality of their lives through community-based programs. For every bag of our fresh roasted-to-order, Fair Trade Organic Coffee you purchase from our "Coffee For A Cause" campaign selections, The Little Bean will donate $1.00 to Coffee Kids. Join us in our efforts, and together we can make a huge difference in the lives of others! Visit TheLittleBean.com to learn more or to order online. ABOUT COFFEE KIDS Founded in 1988, Coffee Kids works closely with local organizations in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Peru to create health care, education, microcredit, and community-based programs 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. 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. The projects Coffee Kids support can be categorized into four main types: HEALTH AWARENESS Through effective community organizing, women in rural Mexico, Guatemala and Peru are learning to identify and treat common illnesses with natural medicines. In turn, these women train others about preventive health care, including traditional herbal remedies, and pre- and post-natal care. EDUCATION Thousands of children have continued their schooling thanks to education projects in rural Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Grants to elementary schools provide teaching materials and repair school buildings. Scholarships for high school and university students help families cover the cost of school supplies, textbooks and transportation. MICROCREDIT Over 4,000 women are now running their own small businesses thanks to micro-credit projects in rural Mexico and Nicaragua. By building their personal savings and taking out small, low-interest loans ($50-100), these women are able to start or expand their own small businesses, ranging from selling vegetables or tortillas to running a midwife's clinic or a general store. COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECTS Women in indigenous communities in Mexico have created a wide variety of projects that provide healthy, affordable and nutritious food for their families and their communities. Some of these projects include chicken-raising, family vegetable gardens and oyster mushroom cultivation. Coffee Kids also supports biodiesel and literacy projects in Guatemala. HISTORY Bill Fishbein, a coffee roaster from Providence, R.I., USA, founded Coffee Kids in 1988. Fishbein has been working in the specialty coffee industry since 1977 when it was just beginning to make an impact in the United States. While traveling to Guatemala in 1988, he witnessed the poverty faced by those producing coffee. Over 125 million people around the world are completely dependent on the annual coffee harvest as their only source of income. Fishbein was shocked by the poverty, but overwhelmed by the generosity and spirit of the people forming the base of the coffee industry. Upon his return home, Fishbein began canvassing fellow coffee roasters and was overwhelmed by the support. Numerous roasters were confronting the same realities at the roots of the industry and looking for an outlet to support positive change. Since then, Coffee Kids has raised and distributed over $4 million in funds to help coffee-farming families in their efforts to improve the quality of their lives. ...read more
