Our Mission/About Us

Founded by Ian Kavaleuski in 2025, Karibu Coffee has one goal - to support the education and improve the lives of Kenyan children. Ian (Hi! I'm typing this)! is a senior in high school, living in the Northern Virginia area. He just moved back from Kenya, where he spent 2 years living and learning. During his time there, he learned about the Mukuru Promotion Centre in Nairobi. The center is a sort-of orphanage, housing and teaching dozens of boys rescued off the streets, manywith drug issues. He volunteered here, helping with day to day activities like cleaning and cooking. Before he left, he raised nearly 1500$ to purchase sports equipment for the boys.

Now, I'm starting a new campaign - this time, a sustainable coffee store, selling high quality Kenyan grown coffee and tea. 100% of profits will be donated to the center, with my friends and associates in Nairobi tasked with making sure the funds go directly towards helping children in need.

As of September 15th, 2025, the shop is being ran as a for-profit social enterprise commited to donating 100% of profits to our friends at MPC (for legal reasons, we are for-profit. I guarantee that this will not affect our goals and ambitions). This status might change as the project develops further.
