Divine Chocolate opens door to schools and health care
|
|
In 2006, Oikocredit made an equity investment in the fair trade chocolate company Divine, which is 45% owned by small cocoa farmers in Ghana. About 45,000 small farmers organized in 1,300 village societies participate in this enterprise. They receive a guaranteed fair trade price plus a social premium, which is invested into community projects such as schools, provision of clean drinking water, income generating projects for women, and mobile medical clinics. |
