771 million people around the world don't have access to clean water. The majority live in isolated, rural areas the same areas growing our coffee. While we enjoy the purest filtered water in our coffee, the communities at the end of its supply chain face a water crisis.

16-year-old Seido lives in the coffee growing Sirima village in Berbere, Ethiopia: the location of our latest project. She has never been to school. In communities where there is no access to clean water, women and young girls spend up to 8 hours collecting water that weighs, on average, 20 kilos.

That's why this World Water Day I'm walking in solidarity with the coffee growing communities who make my mornings brighter. I will be walking (5k/10k/15k) carrying as much water as I can on The Big Water Walk and raising funds and awareness for Project Waterfall and helping to make a life-changing impact on coffee farmers and their communities.
