Odeon Trowbridge (and Costa) are going to be completing a 10k twilight walk in Cardiff on 29th August to raise money for Costa foundation.
The Costa Foundation is an amazing charity that we all have a lot of passion for. They raise money to help build self funded schools in the Bean growing countries, to give the families a better quality of life. Girls and women also get this education, which is a massive step forward in these countries.
We will be walking 10k, so that they don't have to! Because in these countries, this is how far they have to walk each day to get a mediocre education.
The Costa Foundation is an independant charity that aims to relieve poverty in coffee-growing communities. Its mission is to improve the life chances of boys and girls by providing them with the opportunity for a quality education. Costa Foundation schools deliver both academic and extracurricular programs that enhace, health, gender equality and environment. In the last decade the Costa Foundation has supported 72 school projects in nine countries across the world. Children are currently benefitting from Costa Foundation funded schools and other social and personal development programmes in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Nicaragua, Vietnam and Uganda with a school under construction in Zambia.

The Costa Foundation has supported much more than just building classrooms. In the 72 communities that the CF has been working with, many additional projects have been completed. Libraries, additional classrooms, dormitories and computer labs, school farm projects and teacher accomodation are just some of the successful ways that further support has been granted to help deliver much more than just academic education.

The amazing work that the Costa Foundation has done could not continue without the voluntary fundraising that takes place ever year throughout all the Costa stores up and down the country
