Help Farmers Earn a Fair Income
 The
UMCOR Coffee Project is a way to help people in need while enjoying an
excellent cup of coffee, tea, cocoa, or chocolate. As Christians, we
can buy products that are fairly traded and support practices that help
farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia earn a fairer share of income.
For this project, UMCOR partners with
Equal Exchange.
It is committed to these principles:
 |
To pay a fair price with a guaranteed
minimum, ensuring the farmers a fair return for their labors. |
|
To work with cooperatives that are owned
and governed by the farmers themselves. |
|
To buy directly from farmers so the
benefits of trade go to them and their communities. |
|
To provide credit that farmers can afford,
helping them to break the cycle of debt. |
|
To encourage ecologically sustainable
farming practices such as organic and shade-grown agriculture. |

food crisis relief with long-term solutions by giving to UMCOR Advance
#982920 Hunger/Poverty Program. Writhe the # and name of the project
on the memo line of your check.
