It is no secret that I am extremely philanthropic. I truly believe in giving back to others in any way I can. That doesn’t always mean monetarily – it can mean in my time, other donations or even through thoughts and prayers. I wish I could keep up with all of the amazing organizations who do great work, but I can’t. However, I love it when I hear of new ones that are doing amazing work and of course, I love to share what they are doing with all of you!
I recently learned of a new non-profit company called Three Avocados Coffee. The thing that thoroughly impressed me was that 100% of the net proceeds are used to provide clean water in Uganda, Africa. Nearly 1 billion people worldwide lack access to clean water. In Uganda alone, 63 children die each day from lack of clean drinking water. A simple switch in your coffee can help change lives.
Their Uganda Bugisu is 100% Arabica coffee, grown atop Mt. Elgon in Uganda. It has been praised for it’s smooth, bold taste, with hints of dark chocolate. When you realize your coffee is also helping provide clean water in Uganda, you’ll enjoy each sip that much more.
To me, knowing that I can spend my money for something I want (or need) will actually truly benefit another country, agency or person, makes me want to frequent them more often. This is just a simple way to pay it forward without doing more than enjoying your daily cup of java!

May 11, 2011 at 12:20 PMAmazing information. I cannot fathom that the job of young girls and women in places such as Uganda is to collect water for their families AND having to walk 4 miles or more to do so.

May 11, 2011 at 5:58 PMWhen they mentioned their church on the homepage, I thought of a small, white building. Then, they said it is made of a few sticks and some benches. Wow, can you tell I live a world away from these people?
Looks like a great cause.

May 12, 2011 at 7:44 AMI found this interesting…The name “Three Avocados” was inspired by a beautiful widow in the village of Bulopa, Uganda, that literally gave all she had to ensure others could eat, without regard for her own well-being.

May 12, 2011 at 9:22 AMI find it interesting that there are even non-profit coffee companies out there! They have such an amazing story and support great causes ~ we should get more people out there to support them!!!

May 12, 2011 at 10:54 PMIt is very touching and warm-hearted that the widow gave 3 avocados, which were all she had, to the pastor to ensure he had something to eat.
