Inua(verb): to lift up, raise, elevate

Aligned with this concept of lifting up, a portion of the proceeds of sales of our Inua roast will be donated to Partners For Care (PFC), an Alpharetta-based nonprofit committed to lifting up the lives of people in Kenya. PFC was founded in 2007 by Connie Cheren, a social worker and nurse, whose vision was for every child in Kenya to have access to safe water and enough food to eat and the ability to attend school and grow up healthy.

Following the philosophy of developing local capacity, all of PFC’s initiatives are Kenyan-led and designed to serve the people of East Africa in sustainable ways, allowing for living with independence and dignity. PFC works to develop local leaders on the ground, who do the work and thus, bring hope and healing to their own nation.

Initiatives such distribution of 70,000 SafeWater back packs, 60,000 bed nets, and 8000 mobility carts for disabled adults and children are just some of the ways that PFC is able to lift up the lives of people in Kenya.

Boarding Pass Coffee will donate a portion of every sale of Inua to Partners for Care.

A note from Partners for Care:

We believe the best solutions to the problems of chronic poverty are those that provide jobs and are sustainable over the long run. We strive to provide a hand up and not a hand out.

Partners for Care embraces the philosophy of developing local capacity in the countries we serve – presently Kenya. All of PFC’s initiatives are Kenyan-led and designed to serve the people of East Africa in sustainable ways. PFC works to develop and resource local leaders on the ground, who do the work and and to bring hope and healing to their nation.

PFC strives to implement several foundational philosophies for serving in developing nations, as outlined in When Helping Hurts by Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett; as well as in Toxic Charity by Robert Lupton.

  • Never do for others what they can do for themselves

  • Limit one-way giving to emergencies (most needs are chronic, not crisis)

  • Employment, lending, investing are best as incentives

  • Subordinate self-interests to the interests of the poor (that is, are we doing things for our good or for those we seek to serve?)

  • Listen to what is not being said (many needs are not immediately voiced)

  • Above all, do no harm

We are proud that no general and donor funds support any PFC staff or operating expenses in the United States; all general funds are directed to the support of our Kenya staff, who lead and implement programs on the ground. The US Executive Director and Administrative Staff all work pro bono and all overhead expenses (rent, utilities, office space) are covered through in-kind donations.​​

Partners for Care takes seriously the value of partnerships. By partnering with other nonprofits, universities and government agencies both in the US and Kenya PFC is able to reach and help more people.

All programs are designed to help the people we serve through innovative, sustainable, compassionate Kenyan-led solutions to the problems of disease, hunger, unsafe water, and preventable death of children.
