The Mission
In Thailand, over 1 million children live in poverty and lack basic education. They are easily pulled into drug use and trafficked into the sex industry. Hope Bridges believes that every child deserves to be safe, fed, educated, and know God's love. We provide these life-giving necessities, so the kids grow up to be healthy, confident, faithful, and productive adults.

In Thailand, over 1 million children live in poverty and lack basic education. Because of this, they are easily pulled into drug use and trafficked into the sex industry. Human trafficking of children is considered modern-day slavery, and there are more slaves today than at any time in history. These children trapped in slavery live in filthy brothels, are beaten and violated, and often abuse drugs to deaden the pain. They have no supervision and receive no education.
Hope Bridges believes that every child deserves to be safe, fed, educated, and know God's love. Purchasing Hope Bridges Coffee, or financially supporting Hope Bridges, enables us to provide these life-giving necessities so that they can grow up to be healthy, confident, faithful, and productive adults.
We may not change the world, but through coffee, God could change their world.
