Who's behind all this?
The main driving force of FairNIST
FairNIST is non-profit student-led social enterprise that works in the spirit of fair trade to support the farmers of Maejunthai. Proceeds of our coffee fund NIST’s 2Develop initiatives, as well as coffee farmer projects including training, building a drying facility, research and development. We also strive to promote the sale of our coffee at other international school’s in an effort to come together as a greater international school community that is working towards collective positive change.
