We are so grateful for our partnership with Edmonton's Food Bank, which reached its 20th anniversary this year! Thank you for allowing us to continue making a change in the community.
We recently welcomed staff from IslamicFamily for a tour of Edmonton's Food Bank. Their agency has been a hamper depot of ours since September of 2004 and we continue to work with them by providing food to their hamper program. Thank YOU! #yeg #edmonton #yegfoodbank #feedyeg

Change is never easy, especially when trust is involved. For many years, our smallholder coffee producers in East Africa have been paid in cash. This traditional method, however, poses significant challenges. Cash payments are difficult to trace, can lead to security issues such as robbery, and often result in delays, with farmers waiting weeks to receive their money. Despite these drawbacks, many farmers trust cash payments and are sometimes skeptical about switching to our Lipia electronic SMS payment system. However, Lipia offers significant advantages: it ensures immediate payment upon delivery of coffee to our washing station partners, keeps funds secure, and allows payments to be received from anywhere in the world. To address concerns and highlight the benefits, Stean visited our producers in Rwanda. His personal explanations and demonstrations of our payment system have helped onboard more producers, moving us closer to making our coffee 100% traceable. #SustainableCoffee #SmallholderFarmers #EthicalCoffee #OrganicCoffee #CoffeeCommunity #SupportSmallFarms #EcoFriendlyFarming #FarmToCup #CoffeeSustainability #CoffeeCulture #DirectTradeCoffee #GreenCoffee #Coffeelovers #CoffeeGrowers #SustainableFarming

If you’re interested in a truly transparent value chain for coffee Stean Fasol - owner of Stean's Beans - is who to contact. Their sms payment system Lipia allows full disclosure of every single step of the coffee bean. From seed to cup. And of course this system allows full insight on what people get paid for what step/job. Agroforestry: of course. Pesticides and chemicals: of course not. Natural processes, waste management, soil health and truly honest pricing. All of it. A truly remarkable company. And a great cup of coffee. #transparency #coffee #valuechain #sustainability #consciousconsumption

Because halal is always better than haram. #HalalEarnings #ProudOfHalal #HalalOverHaram #HonestLiving #HalalLifestyle #ProudOfParents #EthicalEarnings #HalalIsBetter #StruggleWithHonor #RespectHalal
