Keurig Green Mountain committed $1.25 million over five years to Water for People (WFP) to support a clean water project in communities in Nicaragua from which we source coffee. Water for People takes an innovative approach to holistic water management, making the organization an ideal partner for our work in supply chain communities. Water for People looks beyond infrastructure needs, such as drilling a new well for a community, and works to ensure there are robust maintenance systems and water-management committees in place to maintain the long-term health of the water supply.

Project Results

In this project, following WFP’s “Everyone Forever” model, Keurig will work with several partners, including three coffee cooperatives, on an ambitious five-year plan to provide clean water year-round for every household in the entire municipality of San Rafael del Norte — 2,126 families, 38 schools, and three medical clinics — by 2017.
