We buy robusta and arabica  beans from the Karnataka Coffee Estates and Sethuraman Estate to use in our blends. We donated funds to The Opportunity School to provide work skills training for the students. We are also assisting the growers in developing a pulp-natural process that eliminates excess water used in processing beans. We also assist in taste analyses, so we can find an eco-conscious method of processing that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.

We are implementing the same soil micronutrient program that we utilize in our Guatemala Farm Friendly program. We are working to improve plant health by analyzing soil and leaf nutrients and determining the best "diet" for maximum yield.  

 

This program makes strides toward the Millennium Development Goal that seeks to achieve universal primary education.
