Not only is the coffee good, but you can know that your 75¢ is being well spent because of our Kiva connection. In Fall 2010 the LRC staff began sponsoring entrepreneurs in
another part of the world in need of a micro loan. For every cup of
coffee we sell, 50¢ will go
toward the cost of the coffee itself and 25¢ will go toward fulfilling
our year-long committment to supporting a Kiva entrepreneur from a
French-, German- or Spanish- speaking part of the world. Once we hit $25, we contribute to a Kiva-sponosred entrepreneur that the LRC staff selects together. If you've purchased a cup of coffee in the café this fall, you have already helped fund a Kiva microloan for Awa Ablowa Quashie!
