Supporting the communities we work with

We’re committed to supporting the communities that grow our tea and coffee and we’re lucky enough to partner with suppliers and farmers who are working hard to help the communities they’re based in to thrive. 

We invest in initiatives that are designed to drive positive change and we work closely with our suppliers to make sure that they make a real difference in the long term. 

Safe water

A lot of the people that grow our tea and coffee struggle to access clean water and we want that to change. We’ve been funding water initiatives in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda and have helped to supply thousands of homes with fresh, clean water. 

 

Nutrition

Food security is an issue in many of the regions we buy from. With our suppliers, we’ve supported communities to buy cows in Rwanda, we’ve helped supply livestock packages to families in Guatemala, and we fund porridge projects at schools in Kenya.

 

Education

As well as helping kids to access a decent education, we want to make sure they have what they need to make the most of every day school life.

 

Healthcare

We’ve invested to help bring better healthcare services to the rural communities in our supply chain.
