Chocaid maps out tasty idea for Third World

SETTING up a chocolate company to give away part of its revenue to the Third World isn't the average business plan but Chocaid in Kinsale is determined to make it a success.

A chocolate company with a difference, its products include an award winning chocolate globe, a chocolate map of Africa and a bar of fair trade chocolate, with a percentage of the sale proceeds going to Gorta projects in Africa, South America and Asia.

Set up by husband and wife team Alan and Gwen Clayton two years ago, Chocaid now has products on sale in 70 outlets around Ireland and has just started selling into the British market.
