We’re excited to share that, together with the incredible generosity of the global coffee community, we have raised a total of $662 to support Alejandro Lozano, a passionate barista from Colombia. Alejandro’s story—of resilience, dedication, and love for his craft despite financial hardships—moved us all and united us in a shared mission.
Out of this total, $500 has been donated directly by I’M NOT A BARISTA, with the remaining $162 coming from coffee lovers worldwide. Each donation, no matter the size, has been invaluable, and we are deeply grateful to every contributor who stepped forward to support Alejandro’s journey. For full transparency, details of the donors can be found on our transparency page.
This funding will assist Alejandro with the critical expenses he faces as he continues his training for upcoming coffee competitions. With this support, Alejandro can now focus more on his craft and less on the financial obstacles in his way. This achievement stands as a testament to the power of community in supporting the dreams of coffee professionals globally.
Thank you all for showing that together, we can make a significant impact. Let’s keep this spirit alive and continue to support those who make our coffee journeys so special.
