Today Three Avocados started following me on twitter. With a name as cool as that I knew I had to find out who they were. Turns out they are a not for profit organization that sells bags of coffee and uses 100% of the net profits to provide clean water to villages in Uganda.
Now this got me thinking… a bag of coffee is on my usual shopping list; it is something I spend money on anyway. At $12 a bag, Three Avocado’s coffee is not much different in price than my normal bag of coffee. I can spend the same amount of money, on the same product I already buy, and instead of contributing to the pockets of large corporations, I can contribute to clean water projects in Uganda!
A cool name, for a cool concept!

I agree! And their coffee is good! you can also get it regularly for stuff like church (They tweeted this blog post, which is how I found it).
They are a GREAT organization and I love the idea of taking something we already spend money on, the 2nd most imported product in the U.S., and using that money to go towards water in Uganda instead of yachts for the coffee industries CEOs.
Your post is so true. I just discovered 3Avocados the same way you did! Their twitter feed led me to your blog… Don’t you just love social media?
It’s nice to “meet” you!
