TWO local couples are helping to change
lives around the world, one cup of tea or coffee at a time,
thanks to their business Source2Resource.
John and Kathleen Duke and Brian and Mary
Agnew, who are all involved with the Kingdom Life Faith
Centre in Lisburn, have taken their dedication to helping
others one step further by setting up their own business,
with sales helping to provide communities throughout Africa
and around the world with much-needed equipment and
independence.
Having worked amongst local communities
in developing countries over the last ten years, the couples
identified a need to create something in the market place
that could be used to help support the work of humanitarian
and community -based projects around the world.
Source2Resource sources and purchases
quality products at a fair price, from developing nations,
under its 'fair deal & fair trade' buying principles,
enabling much-needed resources to be provided to developing
communities around the world. A range of speciality coffees
and teas sourced from Africa and other regions across the
globe are available to purchase online at
www.source2resource.net and at Caf'Inspirations, Graham
Gardens, Lisburn, with exciting new products being added on
a regular basis, such as hand-crafts, jewellery and gifts
from Africa.
For every coffee or tea product that is
purchased through Source2Resource, 10% is automatically
donated to the Changing Lives Projects who then provide
medical, educational and recreational programmes, build
schools and orphanages, provide wells, farm development
programmes, and micro-enterprises.
"We are eagerly anticipating the journey
that lies ahead," said Mary Agnew, one of the directors of
Source2Resource. "We are excited about the difference that
can be made in the lives of people and communities across
the world through the work of Source2Resource, Changing
Lives Projects, and our relationships with partner
organisations."
