Nitap Bars are a fundraising project made in collaboration with and endorsed by the Paq'tnkek Band Council of the Paq'tnkek Mi'kmaw Nation, located just east of Peace By Chocolate in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
$0.25 cents from every sale is donated.
Profits from Nitap (the Mi'kmaw word for "friend" or "buddy") Bars help fund indigenous nitap programming that highlights, celebrates, and helps keep alive important Mi'kmaw community traditions such as drumming, dancing, basket weaving, and elder story telling, as well as traditional outdoor skills like fishing, hunting, canoeing, and tipi rituals.
For 30 years, the Hadhad family created and shipped their specialty treats all over the Middle East and Europe, from their home in Syria. In 2012, all that changed when their factory in Damascus was destroyed in a bombing that forced their family to leave everything behind and flee their homeland. With the support of their new community of Antigonish and the people of Nova Scotia, they have rebuilt their chocolate factory and once again ship their chocolate around the world.
Peace by Chocolate donates 3-5% of all company profits to the Peace On Earth Society - an organization registered in Nova Scotia that donates to peace building projects around the world.
