We envision a future where coffee producing communities find economic security as we are able to solve production limitations, improve education and training opportunities, address equity concerns, and provide improved access to land and capital resources.
When what’s called the worst humanitarian crisis plagues a country for years, little is more important to the average person than achieving self-reliance and resilience.
For years, the crisis in Yemen has destroyed infrastructure, health care, food security, educational opportunities and more for the Yemeni people. Believed to be an origin of coffee and a global leader in coffee production, Yemen’s upheaval has limited its agricultural production and economic success for generations.
We sponsored the planting of 100,000 trees during planting season and now those farmers need the tools and support to make the most of these new seedlings for the future.
Ideally there should be over 10,000 qualified cuppers in Yemen to meet the needs of the market, we have trained over 50 in the last two months and are ready to train more.
Help us bring connection and joy to the people of Yemen during Ramadan and Eid. Join us in showing them the love of the world community by purchasing a Eid Mubarak card
The Mokha Institute was co-founded by, Mokhtar Alkhanshali, an American of Yemeni descent. Mokhtar spent years traveling across Yemen surveying coffee growing areas. Throughout his travels he heard stories of his ancestors rich coffee history, learned about coffee the many amazing coffee varietals, measured rainfall, slept on mountains, and observed farming practices. There in the highlands of Yemen his vision developed: enable coffee stakeholders in Yemen to attain greater economic stability and prosperity by elevating the quality of the coffee beans produced in Yemen. He soon realized that as an individual, his capacity to make and impact was limited.
March 3rd is the National Day for Planting Coffee in Yemen and every year people across Yemen replant coffee for the upcoming harvest.
