Coffee and Tea for Social Impact in Africa

Donation protected
Wouldn't it be amazing to know the people who are growing your coffee and tea and to know that your daily beverage is having a positive impact on them and their communities? What if you could give back to them and even go to visit them? My goal for over 20 years has been to create partnerships for direct trade of coffee, tea, and moringa for the purpose of social entrepreneurship with a long term goal to do coffee and tea tours to the places of origin of our products.

I have an opportunity to make this dream a reality by joining Sister Cities International, the Tanzanian Embassy, and the National Institute for Minority Economic Development for their Tanzanian Economic Development Summit in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on March 10-14, 2025. I am also hoping to visit a female-owned tea co-op, Kazi Yetu, in Tanzania.

To accomplish this goal, I need to raise $7,000 for the conference. Donated sky miles and hotel points would also be appreciated. I am excited to partner with like hearted individuals in an amazing opportunity to impact nations! Let's Go!!!
