MARCH 8-15, 2025

This International Women’s Day, join a community to bring healthcare to women at coffee origin.

“Grounds for Health Week is a meaningful way to unite our local coffee community around a crucial issue: women’s health. It reinforces how collective action within our industry can drive positive change and support the well-being of the coffee communities that sustain us.”

Lem Butler, Black & White Coffee

What is it?

#GfHWeek is an international week of fundraising for women’s health programs in coffee communities. The event kicks off each year on International Women’s Day!

Why get involved?

Healthy women lead to a healthy coffee supply chain. When you join, you are pledging to keep farmers and their families healthy.

Every two minutes, a woman dies from cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a nearly 100% treatable disease, and yet in the next 15 years it could kill almost 4.5 million women – 85% of whom will live in low-income countries, where coffee is grown.

Join coffee shops, roasters, and retailers who rally for one week each year to give back to the women who grow and pick their coffee beans.
