Coffee For Peace, Inc.

The peace in Coffee For Peace is harmonious relationships — with the Creator, with one’s being, with others, and with creation. It is through this perspective of reality and mission in life that this business was started.

Coffee For Peace was established on April 15, 2008 in Davao City. The idea began when the founders facilitated an informal conflict mediation in Maguindanao province between a Migrant farmer and a Bangsamoro neighbor. The two were trying to kill each other for the ownership of the rice field ready for harvest, regardless of who planted the rice or who owned the land. Instead of shooting each other, the two were invited for a dialogue over coffee. Since then, the two avoided killing each other. They started inviting other members of the community to have coffee together — for peace.
