Project Description

Under the overarching umbrella of Ichthus World, an NGO, E-Café Chiapas is legally a for-profit entity with a non-profit business model to ultimately serve its community and fulfill its vision of bringing dreams of farmers to reality. Ichthus World is tuition-free boarding school made up of underprivileged children whom many come from coffee-related backgrounds.

Graduates of Ichthus benefit much more than those in the current public school system in Mexico, especially of those among indigenous villages. In a country where the high school graduation rate is less than 45%, a vast majority of our students graduate with a strong hold of the English language and over 90% of graduates matriculate to college. The school currently has half a dozen alumni studying in Korea on full scholarship while another handful are currently attending UNAM in Mexico City.

When you drink our coffee, you directly help support its day-to-day operations and provides necessary avenues of funding to make this school possible in the long-term. Come see what’s happening at the school through their Ichthus News program on YouTube and Ichthus website!
