Host a Brighter Communities Worldwide coffee morning

Hosting a coffee morning (or any time of day) is a great opportunity to catch up with friends while raising funds for Brighter Communities Worldwide. Peoples’ lives are changing and improving everyday thanks to the support of people like you!

Coffee and tea supporting livelihoods – Kenya is well known for its coffee and tea production, around 70% of Kenyan coffee is produced by small-scale holders. Many of these people are part of the communities that Brighter Communities Worldwide is working with.

People like Joyce and Rachel who are members of the Kabng’etuny Women in Coffee Association, Kericho, Kenya. They grow small amounts of tea and coffee as cash crops, in addition to crops of maize and beans that they grow to feed their families. You can read about Joyce and Rachel and how the funds you raise with your coffee morning will help support their communities.
