Transformation One Bean at a Time: iKhofi Partners with Ripple Effect
Can coffee be a catalyst for change? At iKhofi, our mission transcends brewing excellent coffee; we are committed to making a tangible difference in the world. In pursuit of this mission, we are delighted to announce our partnership with Ripple Effect, a globally recognised charity significantly impacting rural Africa.
The Ripple Effect name represents a transformative force igniting change in areas ripe with untapped potential and opportunities. It also describes the way in which farmers share their training and skills with their neighbours and their communities to create widespread and lasting change. Too many African families are forced to contend with the harsh realities of poverty—an issue that is both severe and unnecessary, alongside suffering the worst effects of the climate crisis.
Ripple Effect’s work addresses the root causes of these problems and enables these farmers to survive and thrive in the face of these challenges. They work across six countries in east and southern Africa, training farming families in the skills they need, encouraging them to expand their ambitions and their knowledge, helping them to increase productivity, and dramatically improve their living conditions. Each family that Ripple Effect works with helps to uplift three more families. Soon thousands experience the benefits, and everyone is able to thrive.
