A takeaway coffee costs £1.79, yet an Ethiopian coffee farmer can receive just 2p for the beans that make it.
Don't like the bitter taste of poverty?
You can help end it. Join a nation wide 24 Hour Tea and Coffee Break on Friday 29 February 2008 help give poor farmers a break - by taking one yourself!
Action Aid organises this event each year and they will supply you with fairtrade tea and coffee samples, advertsing posters, t-shirts, mugs, banners - all sorts of equipment and advice to help you promote your event.
Action Aid uses the funds they raise with integrity and by holding a tea or coffee morning for 24 Hour Tea and Coffee Break, you will be helping people to end their own poverty. This gets the job done faster, more effectively and in a way that will last.
