Beans for a Bus


How Can You Help?
It's simple, just buy Pura Vida Bus Blend, Fair Trade Certified™, organic, shade-grown coffee and Pura Vida will buy a needed school bus for the community of Santa Anita la Unión, Guatemala.

Who Benefits from the Bus?
The children and the community of Santa Anita la Unión, Guatemala.

Why Is a School Bus Needed?
Children who want to continue their education past the 9th grade must travel over 12 miles to another community. Transportation is costly. Monthly costs are 200 Quetzal for transportation and 250 Quetzal for tuition. This equates to $64 per child which represents 70% of most families' monthly income.

A bus of their own would eliminate a significant financial barrier that would allow the children to continue their education. The bus will also be used by the community for other transportation needs.
