we donate $2 from every single bag sold
Beginning on UNESCO's International Day of Education (January 24th, 2021), we will be donating $2 for each single bag we sell and will collect additional donations from customers who want to help us make a difference.
Help us sponsor education for a girl in India by buying a bag of Prana Chai, or adding a donation to your next purchase. One day of education costs just $1.15.
Values updated weekly.
LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE
With our help, Commit2Change can transform the lives of girls in India through the power of education. When girls are educated, entire communities thrive — but 130 million girls around the world are not in school.
Extreme hardships such as poverty, early marriage, and gender inequality force millions of girls to leave school far too young, making them more vulnerable to significant health risks and tragedies including trafficking, early childbirth, and HIV/AIDS.
Education changes the world, and gives girls the power of choice. When we educate girls, we change their lives, protect their health, and help them lift entire families out of poverty.
Your donation or purchase with Prana Chai makes this possible.


Impact Statement
Commit2Change are building a world in which every girl can thrive - no matter where she lives, no matter what her background.
They have reached nearly 3,000 girls with critical education and life skills programs that are changing the course of their futures.
Through Commit2Change's new partnership with Prana Chai, they will directly support the daughters of migrant workers at partner NGOs in India.
During 2021, we aim to raise resources to initiate new programs with impact directly in the tea growing regions, specifically near the India and Nepal border.
direct support for workers and their families
Without tea workers, we wouldn't be able to make Prana Chai. While we buy our tea from reputable sources, we are aware that even ethical sourcing of tea isn't always enough to disrupt the cycles of poverty experienced by many workers. Due to colonial-era wage policies still prevalent in India, even ethically traded tea could have been picked by workers earning less than USD $2 a day. We, like many coffee and tea businesses, often feel helpless as we have limited control over how the money we pay is distributed along the supply chain.
While we will continue to take ethical sourcing seriously, we wanted to go beyond this and help raise funds and awareness for a cause connected to our industry and close to our hearts.
Why did we decide to support education for girls? Because the entrenched poverty of these migrant workers and their families has a disproportionate effect on girls - this, and the fact that all three founders have daughters helped us make that choice.
For every single bag of Prana Chai we sell, we commit to change by donating $2.
Help send more girls to school
Can you spare $6.50 a week? That's all it costs to sponsor one girl's education.
While we commit to donating $2 for every purchase of a single bag of chai, you can help us reach our annual donation goal of $15,000 - this will sponsor a full year of education for 45 girls.
100% of funds donated go direct to Commit2Change.
