START YOUR ALTERFIN JOURNEY

Your first investment. Three ways to make a difference.

We all enjoy chocolate – what if the people who grow cocoa could enjoy a good income from it too?

Until July 20, every Alterfin share you buy supports Bite to Fight, Oxfam’s initiative towards a living income for cocoa producers in Côte d’Ivoire:

  1. YOU INVEST €62.50 per share.
    You finance cooperatives like Ecookim, the network behind Bite to Fight, helping thousands of cocoa farmers gain stable market access for their harvests.
    ‍
  2. YOU RECEIVE a welcome gift – a €5 Bite to Fight voucher with your first 2 shares (€125) – and an extra €5 voucher for every 8 shares (€500).
    You enjoy fair chocolate at home, while producers enjoy the fair income they deserve.
    ‍
  3. YOU TRIGGER a €1 donation per share subscribed from Alterfin to the Bite to Fight project.
    You support essential initiatives such as training, tree planting, income diversification, and the empowerment of women producers.

  • One Alterfin share = €62.50.
  • The campaign applies to individual co-op members (shares type B) only.
  • The campaign is valid for subscriptions completed before 15 July 2026.
  • Vouchers and donations will be processed after the campaign closes.
  • Want to give shares as a gift? The same conditions apply. Recipients of 2 or more shares receive a €5 voucher as a welcome treat.

  • 1 share = €62.50 invested = €1 donated to Bite to Fight.
  • 2 shares = €125 invested = €2 donated to Bite to Fight = a €5 Bite to Fight voucher for you.‍
  • 8 shares = €500 invested = €8 donated to Bite to Fight = a €10 Bite to Fight voucher for you.‍
  • 16 shares = €1000 invested = €16 donated to Bite to Fight = a €15 Bite to Fight voucher for you.

Why they chose to buy shares

Every share in Alterfin is a share in a human life

Frank

"Alterfin gives people the opportunity to shape their own future. I find that inspiring. I have been a member since 2001. Over the years, Alterfin has proven to be a safe investment and a valuable way to learn more about international development."

Amandine

"For me, the most crucial aspect is the social impact. It does not bother me that the return doesn't match the stock market or a savings plan. With Alterfin, I know exactly what my investment will contribute to."

Wim

"Money means power in this world and, therefore, it also means responsibility. Entrusting my money to Alterfin relieves me of part of that responsibility. I know it is well managed, and that gives me peace of mind."

“Investing in the future of chocolate”
Oxfam and Alterfin reflect on the Bite to Fight project in Côte d’Ivoire, the progress already achieved, and the role each actor plays in creating a fairer cocoa sector.
