Good coffee for a good cause

imageOn June 21, 2011, Santa Felisa Estate will host its first-ever online organic coffee auction. You will have the opportunity to try high-quality, organically grown coffee, while also giving back to coffee-farming communities. Three percent of profits will go to Coffee Kids and the Association for the Development of Paraxaj (ADESPA).

ADESPA, founded in 2004, works with families in Paraxaj, Guatemala and the surrounding area. Their goal is to improve socio-economic conditions by addressing a lack of health care and educational services. ADESPA’s health workshops address pre- and post-natal care for pregnant women, as well as promote herbal remedies for common ailments. The daycare center Las Nubes provides a safe space for children and promotes early childhood development so that parents can better support their families. ADESPA also sponsors shoe and textile workshops and a bakery, which support coffee-farming women and their families in Acatenango, Guatemala.
