The funds raised during UK Coffee Week 2022 will go to Project Waterfallโ€™s new initiative in theย Berbere district of Ethiopia. 40,000 people will have access to clean water and sanitation when thisย 3-year project is completed.

Director of Project Waterfall and UK Coffee Week Rebecca Hodgson said:

โ€œUK Coffee Week is about celebrating the coffee industry as well as supporting coffee-growingย communities. The campaign is an opportunity for us to all come together and make a real impact onย the communities that grow our coffee by providing them with a sustainable source of clean drinkingย water and sanitation.

As Project Waterfallโ€™s flagship fundraising campaign, UK Coffee Week gives every coffee shop theย power to make a difference no matter their size, while engaging their team and having fun!โ€

Headline sponsor Alpro and category sponsors Fulfil and Green Rock Manufacturing are excited toย support the campaign. Graham Kelly, Head of Coffee at Alpro, said: โ€œAs a long-standing supporter ofย UK Coffee Week, weโ€™re excited to be taking this a step further by becoming headline sponsor in 2022.ย Project Waterfall is an excellent initiative, and weโ€™re proud that weโ€™re playing a bigger role this year in driving even more donations.โ€
