Mission

By joining the Van Houtte Loyalty program, you are helping Coffee Kids, a non-profit organization committed to improving the quality of life for children and families that live in coffee-producing countries throughout the world.

Founded in 1989 by a coffee lover concerned about the living conditions in coffee countries, Coffee Kids started with four main objectives which are now at the core of the organization's humanitarian activities.

To assist local community groups in eliminating such problems as infant mortality, malnutrition, hygiene, and pollution.
To help coffee-producing families develop alternative revenue sources, thus making them independent from large markets.
To enable small coffee producers to yield greater profit by giving them access to modern technology and economic resources.
To educate coffee consumers and companies about the living conditions in coffee-producing communities and show them concrete ways to help.
