To help tea thrive, we support suppliers, encourage collaboration, and share local charity projects.
For tea to thrive, we look beyond the gardens to the countries we supply. Introducing noncompetitive ways of working and inviting distributors to share local charity projects with us.
With these practices in place, positive impact can flow from crop to cup.
Together with Oxfam, we’ve supplied villages with their first drinking water and systems to manage the irrigation of land.
People surveyed washed their hands after hygiene training, compared to 36% at the start of the project
Target households now have access to safe drinking water – compared to 29% at the start of the project
Market garden producers have improved their food security – compared to 4% at the start of the project
Households now spend under 30 minutes collecting water, compared to 68% at the start of the project
People in eight villages now have better access to clean water
Before the arrival of the Ahmad Tea project, there was really a water problem. There was only one well that fed several villages at once. For some tasks, we often collect and use water from the pond. Thank God with the borehole built by the project, we now have access to drinking water and nearby.
We work exclusively with one distributor in every country. Not only do we share a trusting business relationship, we also share a commitment to positive impact through conscious distribution. Here are some highlights of the projects we have co-funded together with our distributors in their countries.
