Doing Good with your Daily Cup

My siblings and I are getting older. We don't get silly presents for one another. We decided long ago that this money could be used in a more meaningful and powerful way when put towards socially responsible gifts. It may be a scarf made by Tibetan women's group to help finance a school or aid in earthquake relief or the Heifer International to sustain a food source for a community. But this past month we introduced our families to CHAPÍN COFFEE www.ChapinCoffee.com so they can “Fuel their day with a purpose”.
For every bag of Chapín Coffee sold, 3 meals are served to chronically malnourished children living in the coffee-growing communities in Guatemala.
Now our families drink coffee every morning and what better feeling than introducing social awareness. Chapín's single-origin Guatemalan coffees are sourced from cooperatives in the Huehuetenango and Atitlán regions of Guatemala. Guatemala is known for producing some of the world's highest quality specialty coffees, and the fair trade & organic beans sourced by Chapín are among the highest quality specialty grade coffees grown in Central America. In these same regions, chronic childhood malnutrition has reached epidemic proportions, with 3 of every 4 kids suffering. Chapín works through Pueblo a Pueblo (www.puebloapueblo.org), a non-profit that has organized school health and nutrition programs in these regions of Guatemala, to serve meals to these children. Since they launched in early 2014, Chapín has served 8,758 meals to Guatemalan children!

Here is how you can share the fair trade coffee in a wonderful gift bag (handmade by women artisans in Guatemala. Just another way that Chapín supports the well being of Guatemalan children -- by empowering the women who care for them.)
