Lake Victoria Chocolate
Mission Lake Victoria Chocolate:
We want to produce the world's finest chocolate Africa has to offer. Our cacao will grow in the beautiful highlands of Tororo in eastern Uganda next to our chocolate factory.
Lake Victoria Chocolate will be crafted in the most sustainable and socially responsible way. Whenever you'll savour our chocolate you actually empower local communities in Uganda and contribute to sustainable growth.
