The Coffee Trust was established in 2008 by Bill Fishbein. With 20 years of non-profit experience in international development with coffee-growing communities all around Central America, Bill wanted to take what he had learned and apply it to a single community. The hope was that by working on a small scale, with one community, real change could be evoked. San Gaspar Chajul, El Quiché was the first community chosen as it is one of the most impoverished coffee-growing communities in the world.
