Did you know...
- That more than 75% of the chocolate consumed in the United States comes from 600,000 cocoa farms in Ivory Coast?
- That the vast majority of West African cocoa farmers live in abject poverty, although they provide a product that is widely enjoyed in the U.S. and Europe?
- That children of cocoa farmers in West Africa, like this boy from the Ivory Coast, may spend their entire childhoods picking cocoa instead of going to school?
- That U.S. consumers eat 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate annually, representing nearly half of the world’s supply?
- That by eating cocoa products that are not Fair Trade Certified™, you are supporting the exploitation of hundreds of thousands of needy farmers and their children?
- That you can begin to change this system of exploitation simply by purchasing only Fair Trade chocolate?

We are Project Hope & Fairness, an all-volunteer organization helping exploited African cocoa farmers, encouraging the conscientious consumption of cocoa products, and supporting Fair Trade policies. Please help us bring hope to those who have none and fairness to those suffering from injustice. With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of farmers producing a crop that ought to pay their living expenses!
Project Hope and Fairness is a nonprofit corporation and a 501(c)(3) charity registered with the IRS and the State of California. We are a volunteer organization; all of our directors and officers serve without compensation and we have no paid employees.
