KCS Gives Back to the Community Through Barista Mtaani CSR
At Kenya Coffee School, excellence in coffee education goes hand in hand with a strong commitment to community impact. Through our Barista Mtaani CSR Program, we are empowering communities, nurturing youth talent, and creating real opportunities for social and economic growth.
Brewing Change, One Cup at a Time
Barista Mtaani—meaning “Barista in the Neighborhood”—is more than just a training initiative; it’s a movement of empowerment. We bring professional coffee and barista training directly to underserved communities, giving young people access to valuable skills that can change their lives.
From informal settlements to rural towns, our outreach programs focus on skills transfer, mentorship, and job creation. By introducing coffee education at the grassroots level, we are opening doors to meaningful employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for youth who might otherwise be left behind.
CSR That Creates Real Impact
Kenya Coffee School’s CSR initiatives through Barista Mtaani include:
- ☕ Free Barista & Mixology Training for underprivileged youth.
- 📚 Coffee awareness programs in schools and community centers.
- 🧑🏽🏫 Mentorship and internship placements with top coffee outlets and roasteries.
- 🌱 Sustainable coffee practices education for young farmers and community groups.
- 🏪 Support for youth-led coffee businesses through incubation and branding assistance.
Empowering the Next Generation
Our mission is to use coffee as a tool for transformation. By equipping young people with globally recognized skills and certifications, we help them secure decent work, start their own ventures, and contribute to the growth of Kenya’s vibrant coffee culture.
Many of our CSR program graduates have gone on to become professional baristas, café managers, coffee roasters, and entrepreneurs—proof that when communities are given the right skills, they thrive.
