1. It’s an existing trade – did not require years of development
2. It has potential – in 1950 Haiti was a world-class, renown coffee provider – 3rd largest
3. Economic development in rural areas keeps young Haitians in their own communities.
We focus on coffee: for the sake of self-sustainability & economic autonomy

Since 2009
We've helped other non-profits to raise over $150,000 through our coffee fundraiser program.
When other nonprofits use our farmer’s coffee to raise money and awareness for their own work in Haiti, it becomes a win-win for Haiti.
Our wholesale program is the heart and soul of our operation.
