At Costa International we're committed to looking after coffee-growers and their environment. So in 2006, we set up the Costa Foundation to help provide children access to education and ensure that the people who grow our coffee and the land they grow it on, are carefully supported and sustained.
By the end of 2010, we'll have completed our sixteenth school and made a very real difference to the everyday lives of the coffee-growers and their communities.
Without help from our loyal customers, not one of these projects would have been possible. As we speak, the Costa Foundation is laying the building blocks of prosperity across the continents, and below you'll see where we're making a difference.
