Cocoa Horizons Foundation and Kim’s Chocolates support cocoa farmers and their communities
At a recent ceremony in Tanzania, 130,000 cocoa seedlings were distributed to cocoa farmers, and six new classrooms were donated to local farming communities.
This is a special project of the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, whose mission is to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities. The project is funded by Belgian finest chocolates maker Kim’s Chocolates and implemented by the Barry Callebaut Group. Productivity and access to education are both important levers in terms of improving the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities. They are instrumental in the fight against poverty, and assist in building stronger, more robust local communities.
Kim’s Chocolates and the Cocoa Horizons Foundation are consolidating their collaboration to support farmers and their communities by increasing the productivity of their cocoa farms and by providing access to education. In Tanzania, Barry Callebaut’s direct sourcing and farm services organization, Biolands, works directly with farmers, ensuring close relationships to effectively implement sustainability programs.
