THE COCOA FOR SCHOOLS PROJECT 

EDUCATE. ENRICH. EMPOWER

Every purchase from Bart’s Belgium Chocolate Market supports the cocoa for schools project.  The “Cocoa for Schools” project is committed to make a difference in the lives of thousands of cocoa farmers and their families in Kyela and Tanzania. Investing in education is a huge part of how the project aims to improve people’s lives. Eduction has been shown to be the single most effective way for people to get out of poverty.
