Café Conciencia Mission
We are an international non-profit
organization that works in solidarity with worker-owned coffee
cooperatives in Guatemala to help them achieve social and economic
justice.
We accomplish this through:
- Economic development
that supports community-initiated business enterprises,
- Community development
that creates equitable and dignified living standards in the
communities, and
- Education and advocacy
that encourages international understanding and promotes
fair trade and other movements for social, economic, and environmental justice.
WHAT WE DO
Fair Trade Organic Coffee
Through our Coffee
Roasting and Microcredit Programs we help farmers create a
finished product and earn more by selling their own brands of
roasted coffee instead of just selling the raw beans.
Fair Trade Community Ecotours
Through our
Community Ecotour Program we enable international visitors
to learn first-hand about the struggles of worker-owned Fair
Trade communities; see how coffee is grown, processed and
roasted; and enjoy the natural beauty of Guatemala’s wilderness,
waterfalls, and volcanoes.
Community Development Projects
In
partnership with local and international NGOs and concerned
citizens we seek sustainable solutions to pressing community
needs such as access to clean water and construction of
dignified housing.

PLEASE DONATE
Café Conciencia supports poor coffee
farming families in Guatemala. We help them to
help themselves, so they can compete more effectively in
today´s global marketplace and achieve dignified
standards of living.
Our work is impossible without your generous
support, which goes directly toward funding our community-based
projects. Less than 10% of donations go toward covering
administrative expenses.
