"The annual Grounds for Health green coffee and equipment auction returns Thursday, Sept. 18, giving roasters an opportunity to buy special, traceable coffees while supporting the noble cause of women's health. With 100% of proceeds going to United States-based nonprofit Grounds for Health's programs - which includes cervical cancer screening and prevention in coffee-growing communities - the auction program has raised more than $1 million since 2009."
"Among the stellar lineup of coffees and gear that companies have donated to the auction cause this year is a "Special Geisha Washed 'Guabo'" from prized Panamanian producer Hacienda La Esmeralda, and offerings from renowned producers such as Finca El Injerto (Guatemala) and Hacienda La Minita (Costa Rica). There are also premium offerings submitted by traders including Walker Coffee Trading, Keffa Coffee, and San Cristobal Coffee Importers, plus some coffee equipment."
"The auction remains a key revenue source for Grounds for Health, which currently leads women's health programming in parts of Ethiopia and Kenya. The group is primarily focused on cervical cancer, which remains a leading cause of death in the regions, despite being entirely preventable with early screening. "When we invest in women's health, we invest in the future of coffee itself," GFH Auction Manager Justin Mool said. "Healthy women farmers mean thriving families, sustainable farms, and the exceptional coffee quality our industry depends on.""
