Building bridges for a fairer world
Invest in the next cocoa harvest
Together for a fairer future!
Have you ever wanted to be part of the cocoa harvest? Have you ever wanted to feel that with my hard-earned money, I can really make a contribution? If so, we offer you an unparalleled experience. A direct involvement in the upcoming cocoa harvest in Santa Maria de Cahabon / Guatemala.
Your investment goes 77% directly to the farming families, ensuring them an ethical and respectful income while contributing to the preservation of nature and traditional farming methods. Together, we are creating a sustainable future – with transparent information during the harvest and repayment after the agreed period (approximately 12 - 18 months) following the harvest.
Why right now?
Here in Santa Maria de Cahabon, time seems to stand still at times. However wonderful that may be on one side, the people are confronted with great challenges: poverty, lack of educational opportunities, the threat of climate change, and the loss of biodiversity.
We firmly believe that cocoa is more than just a luxury. Cocoa can be a pathway to a more sustainable future. Here, cocoa is not just a bean or a fruit, but a means, a bearer of hope for a better life. We want to support people so that they do not have to burn forests out of sheer necessity to earn a little money or grow maize for their sustenance.
More than cocoa
Our projects for the community
Our work does not end with the harvest – we strive to support the people in indigenous communities in various ways. Whether it is the piglet project, which creates additional sources of income, or through dental health and educational projects for children and families. All our projects are matters of the heart and have one goal: help for self-help. Every action, no matter how small, contributes to enabling the people in Santa Maria de Cahabón and other regions to lead a slightly better life.
We at Corazon de Cavao and Cacao Source want to build bridges through cocoa – between tradition and the future, between Guatemala and the world. We believe that real change comes from the community and that self-help is the best way to create a fairer and more sustainable world. We are here to improve the lives of people, protect nature, and support the preservation of Maya culture.
- True fairness: Fair pay and economic independence for the communities.
- Traceability and transparency: Every product can be traced back to the bean and the family.
- Help for self-help: Projects that promote people's knowledge and skills.
- Ökologische Nachhaltigkeit: Kakaoanbau im Einklang mit der Natur durch Agroforst- und Permakultur Systeme.
