| Help End Child Labor with your Halloween Dollars |
| 71% of child labor takes place in the agricultural sector. This is especially true in West Africa, where nearly 70% of the world’s cocoa comes from. It is estimated that 1.5 million children work on cocoa farms. Fair trade standards prohibit child labor, and Community Development Funds help cocoa farmers invest in solutions like ensuring access to education. By choosing Fair Trade Certified chocolate this Halloween, your dollars can do more to end child labor.  Children of farmers in the COOP-CA-REFSI cocoa cooperative in the Koffikro village of Côte d’Ivoire attend school. |
