Our Organization
History
Three Avocados is a non-profit organization that was founded in February of 2010 as a creative solution to ending the global water crisis, starting with Uganda. 100% of our net proceeds provide clean water. We aim to provide coffee lovers with a product that enables them to make a 100% socially responsible choice when purchasing coffee.
Why
Three Avocados is a non-profit organization formed by a group of Christians after a mission trip to Uganda in January 2010. While we are not a mission organization, we do feel that God has richly blessed us, and therefore are compelled to help those in need so that they may see the light of Christ shine through our organization.
Our Name
The name "Three Avocados" was inspired by a beautiful widow in the village of Bulopa, Uganda, that literally gave all she had to ensure others could eat, without regard for her own well-being. Read the full story
How Much of My Purchase Provides Clean Water
The simple answer is that anywhere between $0.50 and $3.00 per bag provides clean water. This amount is dependent upon the retail channel the coffee is purchased through. Purchases made online through our web site provide the most support for clean water.
