Cup & Cino-Foundation

The CUP&CINO Foundation is a private, non-profit recognized foundation with the guiding principle "Fair coffee world." It supports social projects in coffee-growing countries, particularly through the construction of wells and the improvement of water and hygiene conditions. The goal is to provide better living and educational opportunities primarily for children and youth in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya. The foundation guarantees that 100% of donations flow directly into the projects and offers transparent insights into all ongoing activities.

"We dream of making the world a little fairer through our means. Two cents per cup is little for the individual – but for the people in the coffee-growing regions, it represents a new way of life. Our mission with 'Fair coffee world' is to implement sustainable development projects that have a direct local impact and bring about long-term positive change." – Frank Epping, Chairman of the Board

The funding programs of the CUP&CINO Foundation are aimed at people in coffee-growing countries such as Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya, with a special focus on school children and youth. This target group benefits from improved water and hygiene conditions as well as educational opportunities made possible through the construction of wells and school projects. The foundation works closely with local organizations to sustainably improve living conditions.
