Our Commitments

In the coffee-growing region of Honduras in which our commitment is focused, children oftentimes stop attending school around 7th grade due to the distance that must be traveled to reach the nearest secondary education program. By committing to construct the first, full and complete secondary education classroom at La Escuela Jaime Martínez Guzmán, we will be increasing access to education and providing the children of this community with opportunities to learn beyond that of a primary education.

Update

June 2022

It is with great joy that we announce the successful achievement of our existing commitment to the Sustainable Coffee Challenge! Despite having faced COVID-related delays, among other challenges, the construction of the secondary education classroom at la Escuela Jaime Martínez Guzmán has been completed thanks in great deal to our partner, Bon Café S.A. This year, the classroom is accommodating over 40 teenagers as they take on the welcomed new challenge of secondary school! We were thrilled to celebrate the opening of the new classroom alongside the Guascupusca community this past May, and we are very proud to know that the classroom will continue to provide additional educational opportunities to students over the years to come.
