Chris Cushing, 14, is a truffler.

The Rusagonis, New Brunswick, teen is selling his handmade chocolate truffles for a very good cause.

"They're at $10 a dozen and all of the money goes towards building a well in Tanzania to help people there have clean drinking water," Cushing said.

Cushing sells his truffles — he makes 10 varieties of dark and milk chocolate truffles — through his website, Truffler.ca, and through social media.

"Currently, all proceeds from the sale of my truffles go towards giving children in Tanzania access to clean water through a well and water tank system. And of course, I use fair-trade chocolate to protect the rights of the farmers and labourers who produce my ingredients," he wrote on Facebook.

Since he launched his business at the beginning of the year, Cushing has had more than 1,000 orders — for more than 12,000 individual truffles. Both his parents and younger brother, Liam, help him keep up with the demand, CBC News reports.

"We've raised about half the money needed for the well," said Cushing's mother, Angela. "We're proud of him."

After researching organizations that would allow him to put money towards building a well, Cushing chose Compassion Canada as the nonprofit platform he'll be working with.

As orders keep coming in, Cushing believes he'll reach his goal sooner than anticipated.

"Where it goes from there we don't know," Aaron Cushing, his father, told CBC News. "We're just as curious as the next guy. If it grows into something bigger and that's something Chris wants to do then we're glad to support him."
