Fair trade
We're part of a new generation of African businesses giving pride and dignity to the most vulnerable communities in Africa. We're putting AIDS and poverty behind as we strive to see our community standing on its own feet. Through hard work and unshakeable faith, our dream is becoming a reality. On a large plot of land generously given by a local king, families harvest organically grown herbs. Workers distill the herbs to make essential oils for soap, while women widowed by the AIDS epidemic weave gift baskets and attach labels. All workers receive fair wages, and all profits go into initiatives overseen by the local Zambian churches. Buying this top-quality, all-natural soap is not only the best thing you can do for your skin, it's the best thing you can do for Africa.
