About the Campaign:

Kids don’t tend to drink tea, but here in SUKI HQ we are constantly reminded of the expanding root system of our trade with tea gardens across the globe and the families we work with as we live and breathe alongside these communities, every time we think about a cup of tea. The children, at the heart of these tea communities, are the focus of TEA KIDS— making a positive impact beyond 'Big Leaf Big Flavour' tea.

We’re proud to announce project TEA KIDS, our charitable initiative focused on providing fortified nourishment towards a better future, helping children in tea-growing communities for a fairer world. We are committed to making the UN Sustainable Development Goals a reality.

Let us introduce you to the heart-warming One Cup of Porridge project and how choosing SUKI does better for the tea community.

The One Cup of Porridge Project:

‘Every child is born with a curiosity about the world around them, but they need the right balance of support to help them learn and to grow. Above all, children need roots of learning in place so that they can thrive and flourish’ - Annie.

Every time you choose SUKI TEA you are helping us donate to Tea KidsTM ‘One Cup of Porridge’ program, providing pre-school tea kid children with a fortified cup of porridge, 'breakfast in a cup', in a safe and nutritious learning environment. And in turn, enabling their parents to work, especially mothers, knowing their children are in a place where their ‘roots’ of learning can happily, and safely, grow. To date, our donations have provided over 100,000 cups.

One Cup of Porridge project is based in Rwanda, one of our most esteemed tea gardens we regularly source from. Through this initiative, we support local organisations in tea-growing regions to provide 'breakfast in a cup' to children in a pre-school environment. This vital nutrition helps support healthy development and fuels their dreams. The TEA KIDS goal is to expand projects like One Cup further afield to other tea gardens and growing regions that we have worked closely with for decades in our sourcing.

In tea-growing areas, communities face socio-economic challenges, and children often bear the brunt of food insecurity. By supporting TEA KIDS and the One Cup of Porridge project, we directly address this issue. Together, we strive to make a positive impact, ensuring that children have access to a nutritious meal, fuelling their potential for a brighter future.

Through fair trade practices, we build strong, sustainable partnerships, fostering long-term relationships based on mutual respect. By choosing SUKI, you become part of this journey, positively impacting the lives of tea farmers and their families. Together, we can create a more equitable tea industry.

We operate day to day aspiring to grow a community dedicated to making a difference. Your simple act of enjoying a cup of tea transcends boundaries, creating positive change and supporting the well-being of children in tea-growing communities. Together, let's raise our cups and spread the message of a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Thanks, maybe next time
