Years Active: 5
In the heart of Haiti, where cacao trees flourish, CHOKOPAM was created by Antonio Philantrope to uplift communities and honor the nation’s rich cacao heritage. Antonio, with a diverse entrepreneurial background, was inspired to revive Haiti’s cacao legacy, which has roots dating back to the 1700s. Witnessing the struggles of local farmers, he envisioned CHOKOPAM as more than just a chocolate brand; it would be a symbol of hope and empowerment.
Produced in Gonaïves, Haiti, CHOKOPAM offers 100% organic chocolate, crafted by local youth who embody the spirit of their culture. Each bar stick is not only delicious but also packed with energy-boosting and mood-enhancing benefits, making it a guilt-free treat for families.
Antonio’s mission extends to fair wages and job creation, ensuring every purchase supports educational and healthcare initiatives in Haitian communities. Starting next year, CHOKOPAM will collaborate with Partners In Progress to promote sustainable farming practices. By choosing CHOKOPAM, consumers savor exquisite flavors while supporting resilience, culture, and positive change in Haiti.
