A percentage of ticket sales and tote bags sales will go towards Project Waterfall and Farm Africa.

Project Waterfall 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 three years The London Coffee Festival has raised more than £280,000 towards this worthy cause through ticket sales and on-site fundraising.

With programmes across eastern Africa, Farm Africa works to reduce proverty by helping farmers, including coffee growers, to grow more, sell more and sell for more. Farm Africa works with coffee farmers in Ethiopia, Uganda and DRC, where some of the world’s best coffee is grown. However, many coffee farmers earn less than $1 a day. Watch this video to find out more about how the charity supports smallholder farmers to grow and sell more coffee and protect heirloom forests.

UK Coffee Week 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.
