How do we give back

At Navitas Organics, we understand that agriculture is the basis for a healthy society; that's why we're committed to partnering with smallholder organic farms in order to help strengthen local economies and communities in regions where we do business. Every purchase of our ethically sourced, organically grown superfoods supports our growers and the innovations of small-scale farmers across the globe.

Sierra Leone Cacao Project

Our Cacao is certified organic, fair trade and comes from the southeastern corner of Sierra Leone, an area surrounded by the lush Gola National Rainforest. Our work with The Liloma Cocoa Cooperative aims to support local agricultural communities through the development of integrated, inclusive and restorative organic farming that delivers high-quality products and generates rural economic growth while protecting the environment.

Investment in Cacao Co-Ops

We're investing $100,000 over three years to help support the development of the Liloma Cocoa Cooperative, a young cacao co-op in Sierra Leone.

Set up farmer school field

In 2020 we facilitated trainings for those getting started with cacao growing, as well as maintenance education for established cacao farmers. In 2021, 252 farmers in Sierra Leone registered for FFS training on cocoa farm management, maintenance and rehabilitation pruning, and they will receive 15,000 seedlings through this program.

Reforestation Planning

Monitor deforestation and create a reforestation restoration project that includes cacao agroforestry system design. Over the next three years a minimum of 20,000 trees will be planted and more than 400 farmers and 400 hectares will be positively impacted.

Just Labor Practices

In partnership with our supplier partner we supported the launch of a Child Protection Program in the Liloma Coop. Going beyond Fairtrade certification, this program aims to enable the Liloma Coop to address poverty through village saving and loan associations and to create better access to education, empowering children and creating more opportunities for their future.
