About the Foundation
The Costa Foundation was set up in 2006 to give something back to coffee growing communities.
The Foundation will implement programmes to improve the social and economic welfare within these communities by providing children with access to education.
In 2009/10 the Costa Foundation is building, improving and maintaining schools within five coffee-growing communities in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala and Uganda. This is really making a big difference in regions where many of the children have no access to education, clean water, sanitation, transport or food for school meals.
In addition to the five projects currently underway, seven projects have now been completed in Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala and Uganda.
By 2010, the Costa Foundation will have:
- Built 11 schools with a total of 55 classrooms
- Given access to education for over 4,000 children
- Provided 120 teachers with jobs
