The act of caregiving is a very rewarding experience for caregivers and sometimes is an experience that results in undesirable consequences for the caregiver.

Caregivers burdens are emotional, physical, social and financial which in turn have a negative implication to the people with disabilities.

Caring for people with disabilities places persistent psychological and physical demands on the caregiver, which result in the caregiver experiencing high levels of stress.

Caregivers who are in a poor physical and psychological state are at a higher risk of providing poor quality care to the people with disabilities.

It is therefore crucial that caregivers receive recognition and support to render optimal care for children and people with disabilities

Lack of resources pose a further challenge to the provision of optimum quality care to people with disabilities further disempowering caregivers.

As a family, our lived experience of caring and planning for a flourishing future for Shantelle opened our eyes to other families of people living with disabilities.

We established Shantelle Wangui Foundation to equip caregivers with skills that empower them financially and enable us build a community of thriving caregivers.

Every year, Ziwa farm produces limited edition of uniquely processed coffee. These are the single farm, single varietal premium grades processed using advanced techniques that target specific flavours to our customers’ liking.

Proceeds of Shantelle Coffee go to Shantelle Wangui Foundation (SWF) where we support courses that are close to our hearts among communities of persons with disabilities and their care givers.

Buying Shantelle Coffee is your way of joining us in sharing in the opportunity of making persons with disabilities and their caregiver live a beautiful life.
