Eat chocolate, prevent hunger (kind of)
We all get tired of receiving chocolate on birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s days and other occasions, but this time your chocolate gift can make a difference. If you buy some chocolate from Chocaid.com, they will donate a small part of the price you pay for the product to specific world-wide hunger relief projects.
Whoever you have purchased the gift for will receive their tasty chocolate indulgence, with the bonus of being able to choose which project will receive your donation.
The projects are funded by Save the Children and provide sustainable food and water supplies for communities who need this sort of aid. These projects include: tackling long term malnutrition in the Ethiopian Highlands, helping poor families in Bangladesh and treating malnourished children in Niger.
Save the Children aim to deal with the causes of malnutrition both in the immediate short term and long term, for example: helping families to grow food and be self-sufficient, by providing seeds, tools, fishing equipment, veterinary services, setting up sustainable irrigation systems and developing the agricultural abilities of the communities.
The products you purchase will either be 100% organic Fairtrade chocolate made in Switzerland or UK produced chocolate.
Chocolate for a good cause, what a great idea.
Well, This Will Certainly Reduce My Post-Chocolate Guilt But I Cant Help But Think Donating Directly To The Project Will Help More... But I Guess It Is More Rewarding To Go Through The Company, You Get Chocolate That Way :) Chloe x
