Village Health Volunteers (VHVs) play a key role in working closely with people in local communities. In addition to promoting health and improving the quality of life of people in their communities, acquiring additional vocational skills can help increase opportunities to generate income and strengthen economic stability for themselves and their families. This training program focused on providing fundamental knowledge of the coffee business, covering topics such as coffee varieties, location selection, cost calculation, business preparation before opening a shop, and the proper use of coffee machines. Participants also gained valuable insights and practical guidance from experienced trainers from CP Retailink Co., Ltd., who shared their expertise and business experiences.
In addition, participants gained hands-on experience in preparing popular coffee beverages, including cappuccino, mocha, latte, and espresso. The training covered every step of the process, from coffee extraction and steaming milk to beverage presentation, enabling participants to apply the knowledge and skills in real-life situations. After completing the training, participants were provided with coffee machines and coffee grinders to further develop the knowledge and skills they had gained. The equipment can be adapted to suit the context of each community, whether for generating additional income, organizing community-based activities, or developing new livelihood opportunities in the future.
The “Coffee for Happiness in the Community” program reflects CP ALL’s “Giving and Sharing” philosophy, which is committed to creating opportunities, sharing knowledge, and supporting the potential of people in local communities, enabling them to build on the knowledge and skills gained to create career opportunities and achieve sustainable self-reliance in the long term.
