In this world of consumerism and access to everything, we very seldom take a moment to look at where our purchases started, the people that are affected, and the environmental damage we can cause by the purchase of something as innocent as a chocolate bar!
But we have a massive effect! I recently got to chat to Yaa Peprah Amekudzi from Ghana. Yaa is the head of a programme called "Cocoa Life", which helps the chocolate industry in sustainability and more from a grass roots level! They have seven focus areas: child protection, community, environment, farming, livelihoods, women empowerment, and youth development.
