Starbucks Partners Change the World

Donation protected
I'm so excited to share that I'm using my Starbucks 20th anniversary points to travel to Kenya!
OUR PARTNERS CAN DOUBLE YOUR DONATION WITH PARTNER MATCH!!! 


Starbucks Coffee and, more importantly, so many generous partners have invested in me and I wanted to spend my anniversary paying that forward.  This fall I'll be visiting the Furaha Community center in the Huruma slums, Nairobi, Kenya with a non-profit organization called When I Grow Up .  I'll be able see first hand how talented, local people are working to eliminate extreme poverty in our generation.  As just one partner, I didn't know if I could make a difference tackling something as BIG as exteme poverty?  People living on less than $1.25 a day and trying to provide their children with a safe place to live, nutrition, healthcare, much less an education.  With the help of a couple partners we started collecting loose change.  If you fill a grande cup with mixed change that's about $40, with Starbucks partner match that doubles to $80.  When we collected our Change 4 Change we had raised $9000!  That was enough to provide meals for four months to  450 school children or cover 3 teacher's salaries for a year.  Partners, YOU can support a Change 4 Change drive in your store that can give these committed people the resources they need to make a real difference in a child's life through education, nutrition, healthcare and creating a safe environment.   I can send you a kit to make it easy to Change our World in 15 Days.  Just email, Antoinette Wagner at [email redacted] or feel free to donate now to  When I Grow Up.  Don't forget to take advantage of Partner Match, after you donate, by logging into community.starbucks.com and clicking Partner Match in the top corner. Tax ID 51-0657890, enter Carrie Taves as our organization contact.  

If just one partner from each store could fill a grande cup with change your area could raise $8000! What can one partner, one store, one district do?  Amazing things together!  Get your program materials here.

With $50,000 Furaha could buy a bus, then lease their bus to a local bus cooperative who would operate it and give Furaha a share of profit.  Estimates are this could create between $1,500 - $2,500 profit per month of sustainable income to empower children out of poverty.
