South African coffee lovers have the chance to help change the world on Friday 2 December for International Change Coffee Day!
On the day, coffee drinkers are invited to donate the price of a cup of coffee or simply their spare change at participating cafés when ordering their daily fix. This spare change funds programs for vulnerable and underprivileged children in South Africa.
“Coffee lovers can enjoy their coffee even more on Friday 02 December knowing they have literally changed the life of a child,” said founder Robyn Borruso.
This year, there are over 300 cafés from South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Philippines, France, Spain, and England are supporting Change Coffee and it’s hoped the amount raised will be a new fundraising record.
All donations go to non-profit organisation Eniwe Children’s Fund, which is on a mission to improve the lives of abandoned and underprivileged children in South Africa.
This year alone Eniwe Children’s Fund has positively affected over 349 children, they have received nutritious food, formal education, and improved housing.
Born and raised in South Africa, Robyn Borruso founded Eniwe Children’s Fund in Sydney, Australia after witnessing first-hand the struggles endured by children orphaned or made vulnerable in South Africa.
The South African office was formally established by Lauren Zuidema in Cape Town and together the pair work to improve the lives of these vulnerable children.
The official Change Coffee day takes place on Friday 02 December 2016, but due to its popularity will be spread out for the whole weekend of 02 – 04 December.
