50% of all ticket sales to The London Coffee Festival will go towards Project Waterfall, the charitable component of UK Coffee Week™.
It aims to raise more than £1million to deliver safe drinking water and sanitation projects for up to 100,000 people, specifically in coffee-producing countries in Africa. The first project is currently providing clean water to communities in the Mbulu District of Tanzania in partnership with the service delivery provider, WaterAid. In the past two years The London coffee Festival has raised more than £75,000 towards this worthy cause through ticket sales and on-site fundraising.
UK Coffee Week 2013, being held 22-28 April, provides a unique opportunity for branded coffee chains, independent coffee shops and industry suppliers to collaborate and celebrate the success of the industry while giving back to an extremely worthy cause. A nationwide programme of charitable collections, in-store activities and public events will raise funds for Project Waterfall to deliver clean water projects in coffee-producing African countries.
