Gobena Coffee
Gobena Coffee offers fresh-roasted gourmet fair trade, organic, shade-grown coffee delivered right to your door.
In addition to experiencing the finest and freshest coffee, with each order placed, you are helping children throughout the world. 100% of the profits are being reinvested in the lives of orphan children through charity programs.
This is what the owners of the Gobena Coffee Company wrote about themselves...
"In the summer of 2007, we traveled to Ethiopia to adopt our little girl. When we were there, the contrast in cultures was amazing. Most Ethiopians were not wealthy, but were rich in their sense of community and closeness of their relationships.
Gobena, was 71 years old, when he found a baby girl placed in the yard near his home. "Because she is God's soul," Gobena and his wife, Mulunesh, took care of the baby girl for 20 days. Then they placed her for adoption to be in a family who can take care of her long-term. This little girl is now a permanent part of our family. She is truly a blessing from God, and always will be a reminder that there is always hope, as long as there are people who care enough.
Their sense of community and caring for others has inspired us to start this ministry where 100% of the net profits are reinvested in the lives of orphan children throughout the world. Each time you purchase a bag of coffee, you are providing hope and life to children who do not have parents caring for them."
So maybe you can buy some of their coffee for yourself or as a gift? The money goes to care for the kids in the video below.
