About the Makers
Grounded Pleasures Drinking Chocolate
Much of the worlds cocoa is grown in West Africa and Child Labour is used extensively by cocoa farmers because they are under pressure to reduce the cost of harvest. Within their $60-billion industry, chocolate companies have the power to end the use of child labor and slave labor by paying cocoa farmers a living wage for their product.
