The coffee farming journey is a tedious endeavour. That's why Fair Trade wages are so important. My organization, Barefoot College International, pays fair wages to rural Indigenous Guatemalan women for their amazingly tasty organic coffee.

Have you ever wondered how much work goes into producing one cup of #coffee ☕ ?
We purchase #Guatemalan coffee at #fairwages from organic #farmers.

Assembled by K-Pop band #BTS fans, @oneinanarmy has raised over $15000 for our Digital Night Schools. The generosity of those organizing and donating amazes us.
We can nearly open 2 new Night Schools to ensure more rural children have access to education!

France's Citizens Assembly with an astonishing 99% favour has decided to name "Ecocide" a crime.
With the intention to slow & even stop the rate of Global Warming, more countries are working towards just laws that support the protection of the environment.

An important update on our Solar Mamas of Peru, told by @ParisRod:

"In the face of the gravity of Covid-19 worldwide, it was imperative to facilitate their return no matter when the course was supposed to end. A humanitarian flight from India to Lima, Peru was managed."

Earlier this year, a group of new all-women trainees embarked on a journey to Sikkim, India, for our Barefoot Enriche and Solar livelihood training.

Watch our freshly released "Pritika's Story"- the second part of our Barefoot Enriche and Solar series.

For #IcedTeaDay, we're showing gratitude for the #WomenTeaFarmers of Assam's Tea Estates.
Through our Barefoot #Enriche & #Solar, we train them on secondary livelihood opportunities, boosting their security throughout the pandemic.
We pledge to train more!

Due to COVID19, many rural tea farmers have been left without work.
That's why in partnership with @Starbucks, our Barefoot #Enriche & #Solar training has become even more important as a secondary livelihood for women of tea estates
