Lunches for Los Pequeños | Thank You!

In November 2022, as we launched into our Guatemalan seasonal releases, Seven Seeds initiated the Lunches for Los Pequeños campaign. This campaign aimed to raise funds to supply a daily lunch and snack to the preschool students at Finca Rosma's Coffee Kinder in the coffee-producing region of Huehuetenango, Guatemala.

Mark Dundon is in Guatemala, visiting Coffee Kinder for the graduation awards ceremony at the harvest season's end. 

Established in 2020, Coffee Kinder is wholly funded by the Morales family, with assistance from supply partners within the coffee industry. The preschool provides a safe and healthy learning environment for the children of farm workers and other local community members. Each day lunch and a snack are provided at the cost of approximately $290 USD per child for the 3-month harvest season.

Through the sale of the three coffees sourced from Los Aguacatones, $1 per 250g bag, matched by Seven Seeds, along with donations from our generous retail customers, we are thrilled to announce that Seven Seeds has raised $3011 AUD for Lunches for Los Pequeños.

Initiatives like Finca Rosma's preschool program are critical to keeping the local community together. Without the option for child care and education, many workers are forced to immigrate north to the US to look for other opportunities. Importantly, the program aims to prevent child labour by providing children with a safe space and schooling while their parents work.

A massive and heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed towards this initiative. Supporting our producing partners, our friends, and their families is another step along the path of protecting the future of coffee, and we're proud to have made an impact.
