2nd annual chocolate bar fundraiser makes clean drinking water possible for thousands in rural cocoa-growing communities nd annual Clean Water Project.
The Clean Water Project, in partnership with the Cocoa Horizons Foundation, funds the purchase of LifeStraw Community water filters and associated hygiene and educational programs for rural communities with limited or no access to clean drinking water.
Retailing at $6 each, the 85 g milk chocolate and salted butter toffee bar is available across Canada and online starting March 26, 2018.
