Social Responsibility

Your purchase of Black Ivory Coffee will support the families who care for the elephants as well as local students in the who participate in an after-school program whereby they learn how to wash, rake, dry and prepare food for the elephants. What they earn through 2 hours of work approximates 7 hours of working in the rice fields full-time.

Production of Black Ivory Coffee also provides valuable income generation for elephant care-giving families as well as students of the local high school who are taught how to wash and dry our coffee. The money earned generally tends to support aging parents, health expenses, school fees, food, and clothing. Some of the students are also saving for university. ​We pay 350 THB (Thai Baht) per kilogram for picked coffee.
