Coffee and Poverty
Over 25 million people around the world are dependent on coffee as their sole source of income.
For many of these families, coffee is not enough.

Coffee and Poverty
Coffee farmers are in need of ways to diversify their income, put food on the table during the thin months (when there is no income from the coffee harvest), and learn how to better manage their resources as well as be able to send their children to school.

Some of Coffee Kids’ partners working in Nicaragua and Mexico are helping children and adults learn how to save money and manage their personal finances.
By learning to manage their resources, families are better able to prepare for the future.

The children’s savings group gathers to make deposits into their savings accounts once a week.
When they finish grade school, many of the students will use their savings to pay for high school and sometimes even college.Life in coffee-farming communities
