Or, a yummy way to help the West African cocoa farmer is to purchase chocolate from , Sweet Earth Organic Chocolates. Or, visit Splash Cafe. Splash Cafe and its sister business, Splash Cafe Artisan Bakery donate at least $2500 every summer to Project Hope and Fairness and make the trips possible.

The owner of Saf-Cacao, Mr. Ali Lakiss, has been most hospitable every time we have visited his plant. Saf-Cacao was established by his grandparents in the 1960's, and he has built the company into the fourth largest cocoa buyer/exporter in Côte d'Ivoire.
