Brewing Hope: How Every Cup Powers a Movement Against Poverty and Hunger
Globally, over 670 million people live on less than $2.15 per day — a stark reality that demands innovative, scalable solutions. Meanwhile, the United Nations reports that nearly 10% of the world’s population faces chronic hunger, with devastating impacts on health, education, and economic productivity.
Our café network offers more than just great coffee — it’s a sustainable social enterprise model that transforms consumer spending into direct social impact. By reinvesting 100% of profits into meal donations and microloans, we deliver immediate nourishment and long-term economic empowerment, tackling poverty from multiple angles.
How Profits Translate into Impact
Each café generates roughly $6,281 in annual profit, distributed with clear intention:
- 25% ($1,570) supports The Butterfly Effect, providing approximately 827 meals annually (20 meals per $38 donated).
- 25% ($1,570) funds the UN World Food Programme, providing approximately 2,232 meals annually (54 meals per $38 donated).
- 50% ($3,140) is invested in Kiva microloans, empowering entrepreneurs to build sustainable livelihoods. Repayments are used to offer symbolic engagement rings — celebrating commitment and hope.
