The SAFAI Foundation started as a commitment to replant 30 coffee farms around Central and South America. Ravaged by a troubling fungal disease commonly known as “rust”, these farms are owned by local farmers who are responsible for some of the world’s best tasting coffee. Since the Foundation’s start in 2013, we have successfully replanted 30 farms, thus restoring these farmer’s primary source of income and providing much needed work for laborers in the form of harvest, production and transportation. An Arabica coffee shrub takes 3 years before it will produce it’s first yield. By helping the farmer’s replant their farms and supplementing their income during this 3 year time span, the families are able to stay on their land.
