Talk of bullshit!!! Seriously, I still consider this practice as a modern day slavery. She made it sound like charity when these people are working their asses off to get a bag of coffee beans to sell for cheap. I say make the world currencies all equal and there would be no more cheap labours and slavery. Everyone will get what's worth what they worked for.

This is great. I especially like the idea of not just giving the bikes away. Charity takes away people's self-esteem and sense of self-reliance. Wonderful program.

Im sure if s "Their way to get out of poverty" it should be "your way to get rich" paying cheap prices for production and selling a cup of coffe in oregon at 5 dollars each.

Capitalistic Whore!

if they did do all the packaging, weighing, etc. and set "their price", nobody will buy it unless its dirt cheap like it is right now. if you have 200 farmers willing to sell their coffee for cheap, the handful selling their coffee for more won't sell a single bean.

The farmers don't get free bikes. They are lent to the farmers, who pay off the bike with coffee beans. After achieving bike ownership, I assume the farmer can take his beans to any buyer he likes (prob the one who gives the best price, and likely has less middle men to achieve it).
