Quality education unlocks socioeconomic mobility, empowers people to live more healthy and sustainable lives and is crucial to fostering tolerance and understanding between people, thereby contributing to a more peaceful society.

President Executive Board Wageningnen University & Research

Education helps have a better chance in society, to actually participate in society, not just on the labor market, but in things like democracy, in expressing one's values and ideas. We must educate children, but we must also make sure they get a chance to exert the skills that they learn at school, so that they land in a society that is safe, that provides jobs, that provides also the human values that are necessary to build a stable and happy family.

We believe that education has a multiplier effect because by improving the quality of life of many coffee growers and their communities, we build a solid foundation for sustained economic growth.

Thank you for supporting our students, our schools and our coffee communities!
