Love that FairTrade Chocolate


If you enjoy your Cocoa or Chocolate, you'll get far more enjoyment when you buy FairTrade products, because you will know that the Producer is getting a better deal.

FairTrade enables smaller growers to reap greater benefits from their crops by being paid properly.

It provides them with greater security, and an incentive for the future, to keep their livelihoods and prosper.

Here is a magnificent carved wood panel, over a metre in width. It comes from Ghana, West Africa, and shows the many processes of the Cocoa harvest in full swing.

Just Africa is committed to FairTrade principles.

Attention!



Here is a good example of an older 'Colon' or colonial Figure.

It represents a 'General de Brigade' or Brigade General, of the 'Tirailleurs Senegalaise', a militia raised from West Africans in the old colonial period.

These soldiers fought alongside French troops in World War 1 and World War 2 with great distinction.

This authentic figure has some marks of wear and age.
