There’s an Associated Press story about the Christian East African and Equatorial Development Trust, which helps Ugandan coffee farmers produce and market their product at a fair price.  Working in one of the poorest countries on the planet, the group has helped farmers earn a higher profit on the coffee, most of which goes back into community projects like water wells.   The organization’s official website says its process is better than fair trade, because it “controls all phases of the supply chain” ensuring “100% of the profits go back to the community“.
