• Coffee Kids: Helping Families of Poor Producers

Coffee Kids, an non-governmental organizations from a coffee-importing country, works to improve the quality of life for children and families in coffee-growing communities. Coffee Kids' largest program provides microcredit to women, helping to build economic stability and promote diversification. Another program gives scholarships to students and grants to primary schools in rural, coffee-growing communities. Coffee Kids helped a group in Mexico build a school from bricks made from compressed coffee hulls. In 1997, Coffee Kids began a microcredit program in Ayahualuco. By 1999, several families were making enough money from their small businesses that they no longer needed the extra income from picking coffee.
