What is FairCrack?
CoffeeSnobs FairCrack is an exciting initiative that kicked-off in May 2007
to address the holes that we could see in supporting existing coffee causes
and we honestly think that as a small community of passionate coffee
consumers we can do it far better.
The biggest issue with any type of charity event is the amount of money
raised that is required to manage and distribute the funds. With FairCrack
we have a goal of zero administrative overheads and will do our best to
ensure that 100% of the money raised or materials purchased ends up on the
ground at coffee origin.
The above figures show the total money donated to date by CoffeeSnob
members, the total amount spent to date and the outstanding balance in the
pot for future allocation. Above the site wide totals you will find
your own running total (if any money has been raised from your purchases)
which you can proudly watch grow over time. Below
you will find a brief description of the causes that CoffeeSnobs chose to
support and the amount that was spent. We hope this "open book" style
accounting will leave little doubt that the money raised is being spent
wisely on sound projects.

Solar for Kili - Our biggest FairCrack project to date is nearly done. We are supplying solar light kits for the villagers on Kilmanjaro to replace their kerosene lamps. Burning a kero lamp for light in a small space is allegedly equivalent to smoking a carton of cigarettes each week.

Huge positive impact. 1200 solar kits will be delivered to Tanzania and we are hoping to get 200 of those into a village in Kenya too. (US$27302 - total cost and details will be updated after we pay the freight to TZ and the clearance fees in the coming weeks)

Blankets! We can stop deforestation of Kilimanjaro with something as simple as purchasing blankets for the villagers.
