Building New Hope

Building New Hope is a non-profit organization that partners with coffee farmers and their families in Nicaragua. The goal of Building New Hope is to create sustainable development for the Central American communities with which they partner. In addition to their fair trade coffee project, Building New Hope operates a number of innovative, educational programs in Granada, Nicaragua. These include schools, scholarships, a veterinary clinic, and Granada's first lending library!

CLAV has had Matt Yough, Building New Hope volunteer, as a speaker and has been selling coffee as a fundraiser since November 2010. The program at CLAV was titled "How Fair is Your Coffee" with a coffee tasting and a discussion of Building New Hope. Building New Hope is open to other partnership ideas as well.
