According to Singing Rooster’s organizer, Molly Nicaise, raising funds with coffee works for 3 simple reasons:
1. People drink coffee by the gallons: Over 400 million cups are consumed in the U.S. daily (146 billion annually). Put simply, we love coffee and buy it often.
2. Haiti ALREADY has the capability of becoming a world-class coffee exporter; Singing Rooster's coffee beanscome from farmer co-ops who've worked hard on producing an excellent bean. Coffee is an innocuous in-road in teaching others about Haiti.
3. If people are going to buy coffee anyway and Haiti offers an excellent bean, then Singing Rooster becomes an obvious link in making the world a better place.
Non-Profits, schools, and charity organizations can get details about Singing Rooster’s unique fundraiser with rare Haitian Mountain Blue coffee by visiting their website: www.singingrooster.org
Singing Rooster partners with Fair Traders; they support Haitian farmers & purchase beans directly from grower coops. They collect funding for coffee seedlings and for training on growing coffee sustainably.
