Celebrating 10 years of our coffee journey
Nylon Coffee Roasters
It’s been 2 weeks since we had a blast catching up with so many of you on May 1st when Nylon celebrated a decade doing what we have set out to do since day 1. It’s been an incredible journey. We started as a tiny coffee bar/roastery to a more ‘grown-up’ size with an ever-growing community who has showered us with much love and support. We are humbled to be part of your daily coffee routine. It’s not an easy feat to keep doing what we do for 10 years. Without the support of the producers and community, we would not have made it. From deep down our hearts, we thank you.
Over the past decade, we have been fundraising for charity: water. The past donations had gone to places such as Uganda, Mali and Mozambique to construct drilled wells, piped system tap stands and wells with hand pumps. Since we started fundraising for charity water, we had funded 9 water projects and made an impact to an estimate 817 people living in those areas. It’s time we take a bigger step to give back more so we can continue to have great coffees for many more years to come. From 1 May 2022, we have pledged to donate 1% of our annual revenue to support environmental solutions by signing up to be a member of 1% for the Planet - a nonprofit that brings global businesses and individuals together to drive philanthropic support to address the most urgent environmental issues of our time.
So how does this change what we have been doing? Nothing in short. We will continue to work closely with charity: water by directing our annual pledged donations to bring clean water to millions who are in need of it for their daily livelihood. With a bigger pledged amount, we will also contribute to 1 or 2 other non-profit organisations that are involved in projects that are aligned with our philosophies.
Nylon believes if you DO GOOD, you’ll FEEL GOOD and coffees will TASTE GOOD. You can help us to do more to protect the only Planet that we have by continuing to drink Nylon and in turn, help to contribute to our 1% pledge. Together, we can drive change.
In the coming weeks, we will have a couple more exciting news to share with you, so stay tuned!
From Jiamin & Dennis, as well as the rest of the team - Darren, Jeffery & Sue-Ann, a BIG THANK YOU & lots of hugs and fist bumps! See you over coffee soon.
