Socially Conscious Coffee© (SCC) is a nonprofit organization that creates sustainable prosperity with coffee harvesters, their families, and their communities through education, health care, and environmental stewardship.
Coffee is the world's most popular beverage, with more than 400 billion cups of coffee enjoyed each year. Behind all these cups are the poorest people in coffee: harvesters and their families. Lack of education, health care, food, and safe drinking water keep harvesters and their families in a cycle of illiteracy, poor health, and poverty.
SCC created a model that's breaking this cycle.
In 2004 we built a school and community center - called the Centro Rural Educafé in Portuguese - on a coffee farm in Bahia, Brazil. We educate children and adults, provide safe water, foster entrepreneurship, and educate the broader community on health, hygiene, disease prevention, food cultivation, positive parenting practices, and environmental stewardship.
Please join our vision to create sustainable prosperity with coffee harvesters, their families, and their communities around the world.
Look soon for updates - we're about to start helping 12,000 more children!
