Grounds for Health was founded in 1996 by Dan Cox, the president of a U.S. coffee company, and his close friend Dr. Francis Fote, OB/GYN. They were visiting coffee cooperatives in Mexico when they learned that cervical cancer rates there were some of the highest in the world. Dr. Fote knew quite well that cervical cancer is preventable and—when caught early—one of the most treatable forms of cancer. Cox and Dr. Fote took action and after almost 20 years, the non-profit organization has treated 2,907 women and screened more than 50,000

This international organization born out of, and with enduring ties to, the coffee industry , partners with health authorities, coffee cooperatives, coffee companies and others to serve tens of thousands of women in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Training and equipping community health promoters and local healthcare providers is their primary concern as well as providing support in order to deliver high-quality cervical cancer screening and treatment services.

Cervical cancer kills more women in the developing world than any other cancer. Monin supports Grounds for Health in their effort to create awareness about this disease. Grounds For Health has worked to establish cervical cancer prevention programs in suffering countries and is continuously exploring possibilities for new sites, new technology, and new approaches. All donations from the Moninstore.com site will support this organization and all of their important efforts.
