The Global Cocoa Project is a collaborative initiative produced by Project Hope & Fairness and the Global Giving Circle. Our goal is to provide cocoa farmers around the world with the tools they need to improve the quality of their cocoa production. Additionally, we will be providing basic needs such as wells and sanitation systems which will radically impact the daily lives of the farmers and their families. The project also aims to educate Americans about the realities of the cocoa industry and leverage the power of knowledgeable, concerned consumers to help make cocoa growing a profitable and sustainable occupation.
