A project by Rehm & Co. and Finca El Cerro from El Salvador / Apaneca llamatepec.
Owner Fernando Escobar initiated the ‘Café y Salud’ project in November 2019 for the new harvest season.
Already with the last container in May 2019 we contributed the capital needed for the start.
The aim is to protect the health of permanent employees and to improve them in the long term.
Rehm & Co. supports this project with the purchase of its coffees with an extra bonus. The surcharge flows 1: 1 into this project.
The project is currently in the final stages of completion and will initially benefit its eight permanent employees and their families.
They will be able to go to the doctor at least twice a year to check up or take preventive measures. The focus is particularly on gastrointestinal diseases
caused by contaminated water sources and lack of vitamins, due to poor nutrition.
