Divine Chocolate
Divine Chocolate is made with 100 percent Fair Trade cocoa beans grown by the farmers of the Kuapa Kokoo cooperative in Ghana. Fair Trade means that the farmers are guaranteed a fair price for their crop, no exploitative child labor is allowed, and women’s rights and democracy are supported.
The Kuapa Kokoo own almost 50% of The Day Chocolate Company, the business that makes Divine. As owners, Kuapa’s farmers get a share of the profits from all the candy bars you sell. It also helps put African farmers in charge of their own futures.
