The communities
Three cooperatives. Each named, each visited.
Guéra Women’s Cooperative in Chad processes our chebe and ambunu. The Bobo Shea Producers Union in Burkina Faso supplies our shea. The Bondoukou Cocoa Collective in Ivory Coast handles our cocoa butter. We pay above-market, in advance, and reinvest 5% of wholesale revenue into community infrastructure each year.
