Schools
Offer an approved adult coordinator, a parent survey channel or feedback on what a small school pilot would need.
Start with the parent survey ↗I need people who know how this works.
I’m 15 and learning. If you know coffee, schools, business or logistics, I would love your help making this idea real.
Express your interest ↗
Roasters
Discuss samples and a tasting, a small roasting and packing run, or realistic wholesale prices and fulfilment options.
Share minimum quantities, lead times, delivery costs and any support you can offer.
Producers &
cooperatives
Discuss paid supply terms, coffee origin and quality, evidence of farmer payments, or educational insight into growing coffee.
Share your terms and experience. We are not asking farmers to donate coffee.
Answer the coffee partner survey ↗Local cafés & shops
Could you test a stated contribution per cup or a tracked referral? We need a partner, a counting method and a named education project before anything goes live.
Explore a small pilot ↗Parents, your skills count too.

Choose “Parent or community volunteer” in the interest form and share what you can offer and when. Any pilot responsibilities would be agreed separately.
A conversation comes first.
Use the interest form to tell us who you are, what you could offer and any limits. We’ll explore fit before discussing a pilot or an agreement.
What would help us assess a pilot?
- Where the coffee comes from and how payments reach growers
- Realistic prices, minimum quantities and lead times
- Roasting, packaging, import and delivery responsibilities

A few honest answers.
Is this an order or a commitment?
No. Grounds4Schools is Hridhaan’s student concept. The form is an expression of interest, with no order, donation or obligation to take part.
Which suppliers and schools are involved?
None are confirmed yet. We are inviting conversations. A name or offer will not be presented as a partnership without agreement.
How much would reach schools?
The amount is still being worked out. Costs, responsibilities and the school contribution must be clear before any sales begin.
Can you promise farmers a living income?
That is an ambition to investigate, not a guarantee. We need evidence about payments and household income before making that claim.
