Finance Fair Trade
Coffee co-op financing
Calvert Social Investment Foundation
Problem
Through pre-financing, farmers can obtain loans to sell their coffee at a living-wage, enabling them to provide for their families. The coffee cooperatives use traditional, organic, and shade-grown farming techniques improving the environment and their lives.
The Gift
Your gift will provide upfront financing to farmer cooperatives to grow organic, fair trade coffee and generate enough income to meet their basic needs and send their children to school.
