Our Global Project

Since the independence of Tanzania in 1961, the small-scale farmers in Tanzania’s Mount Meru region have been subject to the whims of the global coffee markets and coffee exporters and were generally insufficiently paid for their premium coffee beans. In many years they were unable to cover growing costs creating a circular of poverty, poor health, limited education, and a substandard quality of life. For over two decades, the Mount Meru Coffee Project, led by the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has paid farmers above Fair Trade prices while importing, roasting, and selling their premium coffee to congregations and online customers.
