The Mocha Club

Mocha Club is about connecting your community with our community in Africa. You start by giving up $7 a month, the cost of 2 mochas. And you get to pick where that money is going. We have many different ongoing projects around Africa – pick the one that YOU love…

• Child Mothers + Women At Risk
• Clean Water
• Education
• HIV/AIDS + Health Care
• Orphan Care + Vulnerable Children

The Mocha Club Vision

Mocha Club is an online community of people giving up the cost of 2 mochas a month – or $7 – to fund relief and development projects in Africa. We work in five main project areas: Clean Water, Education, Child Mothers + Women At Risk, Orphan Care + Vulnerable Children, and HIV/AIDS + Healthcare.

Our vision is to provide a way for people who don’t have hundreds or thousands of dollars to make a difference in Africa. Our community-based website allows members to start a team and invite friends to join them in giving up the cost of 2 mochas a month to support their chosen project. We know that today’s tech-savvy generation can have a huge impact by using the viral nature of the web. So we decided to equip Mocha Club members themselves to grow awareness and support for Africa by inviting friends.

We’re aware of people’s general lack of trust that their money is being effective, and we address that by providing regular updates. Each month, we update our Mocha Club members on how their $7 is helping the people of Africa through videos and blogs of the specific projects they are supporting.

On my quest to be on top of my “organization” game, I remembered meeting Karen Ehman, the lady who has conquered disorganization.

I meet Karen at the 2009 SheSpeaks conference in North Carolina. She drew me in with her warm heart and we connected instantly.

During our interview Karen shared great tips on how to get and stay organized. Her book, The Complete Guide to Getting & Staying Organized, she touches on a myriad of areas from clutter to cooking and everything in between.

She gives me an awesome suggest to solve my issues with “the never ending pile of dirty clothes.”

We also talked about one of her other books entitled, A Life That Says Welcome. Karen explains to us that great hospitality isn’t about gourmet food and gorgeous decor, but it’s about your heart.

As the wife of a minister, sometimes we have unexpected company, this book gave me practical advice on how to be prepared. In one of the chapters in this book, Karen talks about how to decorate on a budget, she elaborates on the concept that less actually is more, and also how simplicity plays an important role in the warmth of welcoming.

Check out our interview:
