Sweet Berry Project
DRWakefield started the Sweet Berry Project back in 2021 as a means of giving back to the communities from they buy coffee from. The aim of the project is to use part of the premium to fund clean water initiatives in Ethiopia. According to WaterAid, almost four in ten of the country’s 99 million don’t have clean water. Lack of this, alongside poor sanitation can lead to a whole host of preventable diseases. It is estimated that up to 80% of infectious disease cases in Ethiopia, and up to 15% of child deaths are caused by this.
In 2024, DRWakefield partnered with local Ethiopian coffee exporter, BNT, to provide clean water to Idido Village in Yirgacheffe region. The Village itself sits at the top of the hill, with most villages living alongside the road on the ridge.
