Okay, they had me at "cookies." I had been meaning to post about the Khaya Cookie Company for a few weeks now, but when I saw the post last week over at the The Bright Side Project, I figured now was as good a time as any.
The Khaya Cookie Company is based out of South Africa, and their kindness goes far beyond providing hungry munchers with a delicious snack. They provide men and women of Mbkweni townships with skills, jobs, and family support.
Khaya Cookie Commitments
#1 We use only the freshest, finest, all-natural ingredients and no preservatives. All of our cookies are carefully crafted, by hand and with pride.
#2 We are committed to empowering people so that they can earn a living-with solid business and life skills.
#3 We hire previously unemployed women and men and turn them into highly skilled bakers. All Khaya Cookie Bakers participate in a Skills Training Program that gives them cross-training in every aspect of the business as well as personal budgeting and debt management.
How NICE are they?? So go ahead, support a fantastic company and eat cookies with every meal. (As if you all need an excuse, right?) And if you want a shot at winning an entire case of Khaya Cookies, visit The Bright Side Project and enter to win by this Friday, June 12.
Is anyone else hungry?

Entered both contests! Yay!
I sent the cookies to my husband at work for a fun surprise. Hopefully he loves me enough to bring some home to share. :-)
Aww, what a sweet wife you are! I suppose I should share the cookies I ordered with my hubby. If I HAVE TO.
If only more companies acted this way, looking out for their employee's best interest instead of their own. I'd be proud to be a part of that company.
And COOKIES!!!
What a great company. Should be more of it I say (including the cookies)!
LOVE this! Of course, like you, the cookies part just pulled me in, but how fantastic that they are creating jobs for people. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I was also had at cookies. They look awesome. And darn, I'm too late for the contest.
Just wanted to let you know..still time to enter the Quest for Cape Town...
