Child slavery is a reality

Every day, millions of children work

in cocoa plantations around the world

The Problem

Using machetes, these children

are forced to harvest cocoa beans

Few have access to a proper education

Without school, children,

adults, and community members

are trapped in the cycle of slavery

for the rest of their lives

Sery Kone speaks with other men about cocoa plantations and child laborers

Sery Kone decided to make a change

The goal of WELL Africa is to eradicate child labor in the cocoa supply chain, and other sectors, with a new and integrated plan which takes into consideration all contributing factors.

The Problem

Only 6 years old, Kone was forced to work up to 10 hours a day

This is his story

We can't do this alone

You can make a difference
