Coffee World’s Support for Young TIT in Nairobi
At Coffee World, our passion for coffee is matched only by our dedication to making a positive impact on the world. As an independent, family-run coffee company based in Cambridge, UK, we are committed to giving back to the communities that nurture our beloved coffee beans. Our initiative, Coffee World Change, allocates 1% of the prior year’s profits to projects that uplift and empower coffee belt communities.
This July, we are thrilled to share the story of our sixth initiative in 2024, where we extend our support to a remarkable talent management organization in Nairobi, Kenya, called Young TIT. Founded by the inspiring Moses, Young TIT is located in Mathare, a slum where unemployment rates are high and many children are out of school due to financial constraints.
Moses, a dedicated dancer and part-time dance teacher, established Young TIT with a vision to empower the youth in his community through the art of dance. Beyond teaching dance, Moses uses his salary and any sponsorship funds to provide daily meals, pay school fees, and cover other essential costs for the young crew members. His dedication and the transformative power of dance have brought hope and purpose to many young lives in Mathare.
Recognizing the incredible work of Young TIT, Coffee World Change is proud to sponsor meals for the young dancers throughout July and August. These months are particularly crucial as August is a holiday month, leading to higher attendance at dance sessions and increased demand for meals. For many of these children, the meals provided by Young TIT are a vital lifeline, ensuring they have the nourishment they need to thrive both physically and mentally.
The impact of our support extends far beyond just providing meals. By alleviating the financial burden of feeding the young dancers, we enable Moses to focus more on his mission of empowering these teens through dance. This initiative not only helps to keep the children engaged and off the streets but also fosters a sense of community and belonging, offering them a safe space to express themselves and grow.
At Coffee World, we believe in the transformative power of the arts and the importance of nurturing young talent. By supporting Young TIT, we are investing in the future of these children, giving them the opportunity to dream big and achieve their potential. The joy and confidence that dance brings to their lives are immeasurable, and we are honored to be a part of their journey.
As always, we are deeply grateful to our customers and community, whose continued support is central to the impact that Coffee World Change has had, even just 6 months since its launch. Every cup of our coffee you enjoy contributes to the small ripples of positive change we make in communities like Mathare.
