The Coffee Kids Story

Coffee & Compassion

As you sip your morning coffee or enjoy that afternoon espresso, do you ever think about where coffee comes from? Around the world, literally millions of people dedicate their lives to growing coffee. Unfortunately, the blessings of coffee don't always filter down to the people who grow it. Coffee farmers earn as little as a penny-a-pound for their harvest, and even during the years when crops do well and prices are high, the children of coffee growers go without much that we take for granted.


The Coffee Kids Story

My name is Bill Fishbein and I own a coffee shop in Providence, Rhode Island. Twelve years ago, I traveled to Guatemala and came face to face with the reality of coffee and poverty. When I returned home, I founded Coffee Kids as a way for coffee drinkers and coffee related businesses to give something back to the families who grow coffee. If you enjoy coffee and care about kids, then you should join Coffee Kids. I invite you to browse our web site, to learn what we do, and to become a Coffee Kids member today.
