Purity Gikunju - Vice President
Purity is seasoned professional who has honed her leadership skills through significant roles in renowned corporations such as British Airways, Comcast, and Chase Bank. Her journey in the corporate world inspired her to co-found Growers Alliance Coffee, a socially conscious company based in St. Augustine. As a part of the community-based nonprofit, Growers Alliance Coffee imports raw coffee beans, roasts them meticulously, and distributes the finest coffee to supermarkets, coffee shops, online platforms, and farmers markets.
Purity's commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond the coffee industry. Through Growers Alliance Coffee, she orchestrates the awe-inspiring 10-day Coffee Safari to Kenya, a unique opportunity for coffee lovers to immerse themselves in the captivating world of coffee picking and connect with local farmers. This extraordinary adventure also serves as a means of giving back to the community, with contributions directed towards water wells in Embu and a dialysis clinic in Naivasha, Kenya. Additionally, the expedition culminates in a thrilling 7-day game drive at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, providing participants with an unforgettable animal safari experience.
Not one to rest on her laurels, Purity's latest venture is Marashi Mania, a trailblazing line of Natural, Raw Unblended Perfume oils. Recognizing the needs of individuals sensitive to conventional perfumes, Marashi Mania offers a refreshing alternative that embraces nature's essence while staying true to ethical practices.
Purity's journey of leadership, social impact, and innovation makes her an invaluable asset to our community-based nonprofit organization. Her unwavering commitment to meaningful ventures continues to inspire and uplift those around her.
