ABOUT

Seven years living in Africa created a passion for the people and continent and inspired co-founders Brett Beach and Sarah Lescrauwaet to create MIA, a platform to create positive impact through food.

Africa produces 70% of the world’s cocoa, but less than 1% of finished chocolate. This injustice inspired them to make each and every value-added MIA product in Africa, from start to finish.

What started as an idea is now a cause that is shared by friends, family and customers around the world: to make delicious chocolate that improves lives in Africa.

Awards

MIA – Pentawards for branding and design
MIA – Award for Excellence in African Industry

Steps Between Farm and You

MIA purchases from family farmers in Madagascar or ABOCFA cooperative in Ghana. Bean-to-bar chocolate is made in the respective countries of origin. It's shipped to Worldwide Chocolate in the US to ship to you.

Why We Love MIA, Ghana & Madagascar

FAIR MADE

MIA aspires to work with thousands of artisans in communities throughout the African continent to offer consumers a wide range of delicious foods that build on fair trade to set a new standard: ‘FAIRMADE.'

1 FOR CHANGE

MIA dedicates 1% of all sales to development projects in Africa to help protect a local endangered species, create a healthier environment or improve a community’s livelihoods.

MORE IMPACT

Each bar of chocolate they make creates much more impact than the export of raw cocoa. This value-added impact is shared by a network of supply partners in Ghana and Madagascar: cocoa, cashew and sugar cane farmers, box and chocolate makers, transporters and other service providers.
