People Affected

We've created this website to be a place where people who work in the coffee industry and coffee consumers can make a connection with the coffee farmers, workers and their families who deal with landmines on a daily basis.

Look through the profiles here and direct your money to be part of a Micro-Grant to someone trying to work, create a business or improve an existing one, or send someone in their family to school. Micro-Grants do not have to be repaid. They are one way the Trust can provide resources for people to help themselves.
