<div>Kushe-o! (Greetings in Krio)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Matthias Stadler, and together with Hannah Tarawally in Kenema, Sierra Leone, we are building one of the first farms of Coffea stenophylla — a rare, climate-resilient coffee rediscovered in Sierra Leone by scientists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stenophylla is special:
</div>
<div>☕️ Flavor notes of blackcurrant, peach, and floral tea
</div>
<div>Naturally heat-tolerant, grows where Arabica struggles
</div>
<div>Offers hope for coffee’s future under climate change
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We Need Your Support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have planted 3,000 young trees, and now we must keep them alive through the critical early years:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Magnus’ salary (farm manager, 1 year) – USD 2,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3 water tanks + fuel water pump – USD 2,500
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Small bridge for rainy season access – USD 500
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Total goal: USD 5,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your Impact
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps us:
</div>
<div>Bring water to the young trees
</div>
<div>Secure jobs for local farmers
</div>
<div>Protect a species that could transform the coffee industry
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we raise more than our goal, extra funds will go toward a small nursery and tool shed for Magnus, ensuring the farm can expand sustainably.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank You
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support means more than money — it means hope, water, and a future for coffee in Sierra Leone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tenki plenty! (Thank you very much, in Krio)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Matthias, Hannah, Magnus &amp; the farm team

<div>Photos and videos to follow!
</div>
<div>Next week I will travel to Kenema to visit Hannah and Magnus on the farm. I’ll share updates here so you can see the trees, the people, and the progress your support makes possible.
