THROUGH COFFEE WE CAN REBUILD FARM WORKER HOMES

2016

Think Coffee finds a farming community torn apart by a natural disaster and forms a partnership with Cooperativa, Cafe’s Especiales of Narino to help aid in the reconstruction efforts.

2017

A total of 74 families have received materials to rebuild homes away from the fault line.

2022

A new group of 12 beneficiaries are visited and included in the project.

Since January 2016, many homes have collapsed due to the movements of a nearby geological fault line- the local school and church have crumbled and 80% of houses have been destroyed, forcing nearly 40% of the population to leave and resettle elsewhere. Despite some presence from international and Colombian aid organizations, the effects of the shifting fault line have largely not been addressed.

Think Coffee has partnered with the local coffee cooperative, Cooperativa de Cafes Especiales de Nariño, to mitigate the effects of this misfortune. 40 cents per pound of green coffee we import will be invested into purchasing construction materials. Specifically, the farmers have asked us to buy brick, concrete, metal, and roofing, so that they can rebuild their homes in fault-safe zones. This way, we are truly partnered on this project together: the farmers will be in control of their individual needs, but we will continue to fund it and travel back to Aponte to make sure that we are working in the best way possible.

YEARLY PROJECTED GOAL

Our next steps include completing the homes of the current group of beneficiaries. We have figured out what final construction supplies they need, so once they are finished building, we can move on to the next group that will receive materials.
