Some of the women in one of our indigenous tribes living in a community called Shiroles took it upon themselves about 7 years ago to generate an income for their families and community. They maintain crops of cacao, process it and turn it into chocolate bars, liquid chocolate, cookies and other delectable delights.

They have a great system down now through production, but they could really use some more help with the post-production process. They don’t have much experience in getting their product to the marketplace. With the right help, these women could be marketing their products to local stores, restaurants and hotels and boosting their income by leaps-and-bounds.

Someone with even basic marketing skills could be of great assistance to them in developing a plan and then accompanying them as they visit these potential outlets. This is a very shy group of people and many of the restaurant and hotel owners speak English. Your efforts with this group would help sustain an entire village. Please let me know if you are interested in working with a group like this.
