Costa Coffee Malta and The Sigma Foundation will be collaborating with the Costa Foundation to raise funds to provide two Ethiopian schools with water conservation equipment.
Back in May 2022, Costa Coffee Malta CEO Christina Galea and Sigma Foundation founder Keith Marshall participated in an expedition to Santiago de Compostela to raise funds for the building of a school in Bonga Ethiopia. The idea of bringing foundations together was born from the purpose of providing education to the less fortunate, which countries also happen to be coffee growing communities which Costa wishes to support and ensure sustainability.
One school in Wote has already been upgraded by the Costa Foundation and requires a water reservoir of 5m3, which water will help over 1400 students and teachers and will cost $2,461.
The second project is for Adeyi school, which includes 2 water tanks for the school and community, 5 water points, 1 new spring, 7km of pipeline and 7 WASHCo members training with total beneficiaries amounting to 7,538. An additional two concrete reservoirs will cost $7,000.
The funds will be raised through various activities being organised by Costa Coffee Malta as part of their ten year anniversary celebrations in October which also include 10% of revenues from all cappuccino sales to be donated to the fund during the events, a Harry Potter Quiz night, football tournament and team BBQ sponsored by the Costa management team.
