Commitment to the UN Millenium Development Goals

Because Safi Coffee is an ultra-socially responsible coffee company, we have decided to commit to the United Nations Global Compact.

We support the UN Millenium Development Goals to end poverty and hunger, promote universal education, gender equality, child and maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS, and to promote environmental sustainability and global partnership.

From Shannon's letter to Ban Ki-Moon, the UN Secretary General:

What Kind of Coffee Drinker Are you?

Are you a caffeine addict or a connoisseur? Do you prefer filter or frappee?

Hoping for a Win!

We just entered to win the Sustainability Award from the Specialty Coffee Association of America! How can anyone be more sustainable than us?!

This award acknowledges individuals, businesses and organizations that have created innovative projects to expand and promote sustainability within the coffee world while inspiring others to initiate similar endeavors.

Wish us luck!

RIP David Gachigi

Some very sad news for us at the Coffee Connections Project: one of our most enthusiastic and dedicated farmers David Gachigi passed away recently. He had been suffering from high blood pressure.

David was one of the more senior farmers in the Coffee Connections program, and as such was a valuable link between the Rural Development Connections organizers and the farming community we work with. He will be sorely missed.

David took real pride in his farm. He took great care of the soil and set up beautiful trellises all over his land to collect rainwater. His son Francis has taken over his 2-acre farm (one of the larger ones in the program), and despite the family's loss, he is determined to keep things going.

RIP David Gachigi.
