A hot chocolate for more justice

This spoon is more than just a design classic that has been stuck upside down in a block of chocolate. This spoon is an ambassador for more justice and a donation to International Justice Mission Germany (IJM) to support the NGO in its efforts against modern slavery and violence against people living in poverty.

The best thing about the Mono x IJM chocolate spoon is that one hundred percent of the proceeds are donated. The full €30 sales price goes to IJM and its team in Ghana, which works with local authorities to free children from inhumane conditions, provide them with aftercare and bring the perpetrators to justice. This alliance for more justice is symbolised by the IJM blue handle of the Mono A spoon and a laser engraving on the back.

The Mono x IJM chocolate spoon is also a delicious hot chocolate. The solid chocolate cube just needs to be sunk into a mug of warm milk - stir - and it's ready, a hot chocolate for cold days. The milk chocolate used is Fairtrade-certified and comes from a Dutch family business just 200 kilometres from Mono's manufactory in Mettmann.

Dear chocolate lovers...

With this chocolate spoon you can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate in this cold season and support our work at International Justice Mission (IJM) Germany at the same time. What a great idea from our long-standing partner Mono to combine something enjoyable with a useful cause!

At IJM, we are dedicated to defending the rights of people living in poverty around the world and working with local authorities in over 14 countries to strengthen legal structures to combat crimes such as human trafficking, modern slavery and violence against women and children.

This also includes the fight against exploitative child labour in Ghana. Tens of thousands of boys and girls are not allowed to go to school or play because they are forced to work - often under life-threatening conditions, for example in fishing or agriculture. Together with the police, our team in Ghana has already been able to bring hundreds of children to safety and the perpetrators to justice.

The donation of this spoon makes this work possible and gives more children a life in safety and freedom.

Thank you for your support and we wish you a peaceful Christmas.

Dietmar Roller
Chairman of the Board
International Justice Mission Germany e.V.

60% of the children working on the Volta reservoir in Ghana are affected by human trafficking and violent exploitation. 20% of them are 6 years old or younger. (IJM study)

At 8500 square kilometres, the Volta reservoir in Ghana is the largest man-made lake in the world. Fishing is a key economic sector for the people around the lake.

The work the children have to do is often hard and dangerous. Fishing nets have to be untangled. They often get caught underwater, forcing the children to make dangerous dives.

Thanks to IJM, the Ghanaian police have had their first patrol boats since 2022, enabling them to find the children not only on the shore but also on the lake and bring them to safety.

Cooperation with the Ghanaian authorities is very close and stable partnerships have been established over the years. The long-term goal is for the local police to take independent action against exploitative child labour and for IJM to become less involved.

After liberation, IJM supports the children on their way to a self-determined, free and happy life. This journey is often long, but it is worth it in every single case. Because seeing the laughter of children who were once exploited is the greatest motivation for the effort.
