About the Campaign:

Kids don’t usually drink tea but they’re at the heart of where it begins.
When someone enjoys a cup of tea, it’s easy to forget the families and children growing up in the tea gardens where those leaves are picked. Tea Kids puts the focus back on them, helping customers play a part in supporting the next generation in these communities. Each donation helps provide fortified cups of porridge for children growing up on tea estates giving them the nourishment they need to learn, play, and thrive.

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.
