Buy Ethical Bean Coffee, Help Send a Child to School

April 13, 2009

Great news! Ethical Bean coffee is now available to coffee drinkers in the United States! The Vancouver, BC coffee roaster, owned by Lloyd Bernhardt and Kim Schachte, is a longtime supporter of Child Aid. Every December, for several years now, Ethical Bean has donated $1 for every bag of coffee they sell to Child Aid as part of their month-long “Kids to School” promotion. It’s been a tremendous help to so many children in Guatemala. If you’re in the United States, click over to the Ethical Bean website. Click on the Amazon link, and support this generous business by purchasing a two-pound bag of their outstanding, fresh, Fair Trade coffee! You will love the coffee (trust us!). But you’ll also be supporting Child Aid’s scholarship program in Guatemala, and a great business, too!

December may be a long way off, but Ethical Bean is worth supporting now. And once December does finally roll around, you’ll be so hooked on their coffee, you’ll automatically participate in the “Kids to School” promo. Then, for every 100 bags of coffee Ethical Bean sells, a child in Guatemala gets a yearlong scholarship. Without these scholarships, most of these children would otherwise not be able to go to school. Their families (many bringing in combined incomes of less than $300/mo.) simply cannot afford the hidden costs of school.

We owe such a huge thanks to Lloyd and Kim and everyone else at Ethical Bean for their wonderful support. There’s really no better way we can thank them than by steering as many coffee drinkers to them as possible. So click on over and enjoy what will be the some of the best coffee you’ve ever tasted – you’ll help make difference in the life of a child in the process!

Can you think of an easier way to help out? We can’t!
