Buena Vida - In Spanish it means, good life, and to us it means the balance between great coffee and making a significant social impact with every bag sold. With the Buena Vida fundraising program, Global Medical Brigades makes at least a $3 profit on every bag sold and at least an additional $2 supports the children of Sociedad Amigos de los Niños.
Sociedad Amigos de los Niños is a non-profit organization that provides housing, education, health care and skill-training for at-risk Honduran children. Through projects like the Flor Azul Boys Farm and the Nuevo Paraiso compound, the organization has cared for over 40,000 children in the over 40 years.
