Divine Chocolate is made with 100 percent Fair Trade cocoa beans grown by the farmers of the Kuapa Kokoo cooperative in Ghana.  Fair Trade means that the farmers are guaranteed a fair price for their crop, no exploitative child labor is allowed, and women's rights and democracy are supported.  

The Kuapa Kokoo own almost 50% of The Day Chocolate Company, the business that makes Divine. As owners, Kuapa's farmers get a share of the profits from all the candy bars you sell.  It also helps put African farmers in charge of their own futures.

Blanca’s Bags began with the dream of a Chicago woman, Lisa Bock, who wanted to create jobs for women in the Berlin area as well as provide funds supporting the local marginalized Berlin schools. She trained a core group of women to supply the Chicago customer base with “Blanchard Court Bags” – a high quality, beautifully crafted quilted bag in a variety of styles and sizes. 

These 100% cotton, Place mats and Table Runners are made from handwoven fabric from Guatemala and come in a wide array of vibrant colors. We are working toward buying the fabric directly from the weavers to increase their profits.

Don Justo Coffee with Dignity supports the local farming community. It is providing jobs and building community. A school is now where there once was none. Water, safe housing, and medical resources are available in a now thriving community.

Proceeds from the sales of the coffee are used to provide water, scholarships, medical relief and emergency relief. The Pastoral Team are addressing many other social justice issues with the proceeds. An entire mountainside benefits from the North Americans enjoying a good cup of coffee.

The Pastoral Team understands the importance of economic liberation: jobs, work: self-sustaining work and the joy and relief of being able to support your family. There are several economic development projects in the works begun by the Pastoral Team! They are successful and are providing life sustaining jobs to many people on the mountainside.
