Barista Training

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Barista Training

Growing coffee imports corroborate that coffee consumption is trending in Nepal and that it holds a promising domestic market. Almost 280 tonnes of coffee was imported in FY 2021/2022, a 40% growth in import compared to the previous fiscal year.

That is the reason why 6 Degrees is supporting a Barista training programme, that started in December 2023. This programme was initiated by our local partner SVSI with the mutual cooperation of Mirakunja Bufferzone and Riksja Travel.

The project aims to enhance the living standards of 50 youth and their families by imparting vocational training and providing livelihood opportunities through a Barista training. 6 Degrees is supporting 10 women in this programme with the ultimate goal to help them find fare wage jobs.
