Our goal is to help create a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood.
Consumers who buy Cloudforest Fair Trade Coffee know that their coffee is purchased in strict adherence to the ethics of fair trade. This means that contracts are transparent, credit is extended to the farmers of coffee producer cooperatives and a premium price is always paid providing welcome resources to improve community health and education.
Mission Statement
Cloudforest Initiatives partners with the autonomous Maya, indigenous communities of Chiapas, Mexico, in their struggle to create just, democratic and dignified lives through the development of long-term productive relationships and alternative markets. In the face of relentless, world-wide free-trade policies , we join the autonomous peoples of Chiapas and indigenous people of the world in work that affirms sustainable and self-reliant communities.. We challenge people of conscience everywhere to join us in confronting the ravages of community displacement, human degradation and environmental devastation caused by free trade policies.
Educational Travel Program
Cloudforest Initiatives is sponsoring two educational/experiential travel programs to the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico. The first program is scheduled for June 17-26th, and is currently full. More information for winter 2011 available soon.
