Philanthropy is an important cornerstone upon which we’ve
based our business. Each month we donate
two percent of our gross sale directly towards meeting humanitarian needs
around the world. We have a special
focus on water projects, orphan care and human trafficking.
During the month of May our donation went towards water
projects in the West African nation of Sierra Leone. Although Sierra Leone is rich in natural
resources and natural beauty, a brutal civil war took place between 1991-2002 and
it ended up wreaking havoc on the nation.
At one point the UN declared it the worst country in the world in which to
live.
Since 2002 a rebuilding effort has been underway, yet many
parts of the country lack access to basic health and sanitation services. Clean drinking water is important for the
health of any community. During the
month of May your purchase of coffee and desserts at “All In” Coffee Shop
helped contribute to the health of a Sierra Leonean Community.
During the month of June we plan to partner with Jamaica
Relief Ministries in providing funding towards their work in orphan care. Jamaica Relief Ministries works in providing
foster care for children in need. In
addition to foster care, Jamaica Relief Ministries, partners with a government
run orphanage in raising the level of care provided to local vulnerable children. You can find out more about Jamaica Relief
Ministries at http://www.jamaicarm.org. Jamaica Relief Ministries has a local thrift
store in the Sandy Springs Community where all proceeds help found their work
on the beautiful island nation of Jamaica.
