CURA COFFEE COMPANY, SAN DIEGO, CA  www.curacoffee.com
Since the year 2000, the FWWH has sponsored trips with dentists and students to Nicaragua to provide dental care to persons in need. Dr. Thomas Fitzpatrick was a student in those early years and he saw an opportunity to start a business that would directly benefit coffee growers in Nicaragua. From that experience, Cura Coffee was founded in part to share its profits with the Foundation of Worldwide Health’s efforts to provide sustainable healthcare to the people in Nicaragua’s underserved coffee growing region. Cura Coffee imports premium direct-trade coffee to the United States.
