Contributing into our Community2Community (C2C) Fund with every cup, bag and capsule sold – your coffee costs you no more, it just goes further. Any grassroots project we undertake must improve people’s lives through at least 1 of the 3 pillars of the Fund:

Equity

Giving farmers greater control over their conditions and resources.

Education

Empowering marginalised groups and improving their access to opportunities.

Environment

Minimising environmental harm to the natural habit and coffee ecosystem.

To date we have raised £126, 917.39*

Accumulated funds go directly to our partner cooperatives who take the lead on how the money can be best used. C2C Fund™ contributions built the first-ever maternity clinic on Idjwi Islandin partnership with Rebuild Women’s Hope (RWH). Before that, it helped enable quality and infrastructure improvement for then start-up cooperative Muungano in eastern DRC.

Life-saving coffee

This year we’ve come back together with RWH to continue the vision of bringing life-saving healthcare to the community on Idjwi island. Mozzo has pledged to raise the $60, 000k needed to build a vital intensive care unit and operating theatre. We are doing this by donating 100% of the profits from our collection of Rebuild Women’s Hope coffees, now available for you to buy and enjoy. Learn more about the project here.

We set up the C2C Fund™ in 2015 to underpin our entire business, ensuring accountable social and environmental impact is delivered to coffee producing communities in every Mozzo coffee sale. Built into our business model is a fixed social dividend invested directly into the C2C Fund™ with all coffee sold. Contributing across the entire Mozzo Coffee range, we solidify our commitment by investing 1p per capsule, 1p per coffee bag and 10p in every kg of roast and ground coffee sold into the Fund.

We track the accumulated funds every month and as it builds up it gets invested back. Working with our small farm cooperatives to identify partner community projects, asking them where and how the Fund will have most impact, from their perspective. No quick fixes, only sustainable, long-term impact.

REBUILD WOMEN’S HOPE (RWH), IDJWI ISLAND, DRC
