What We Do
Soap4Life makes and distributes free soap made from locally sourced natural and organic ingredients to remote rural villages in Lao, PDR.
Soap4Life teaches and promotes proper hygiene technique to women and children in our targeted villages.
Soap4Life trains women to make and sell natural soap products made from the locally available resources of their villages.
Soap4Life trains women to effectively sell their soap products locally in their villages.
Soap4Life trains women in basic business and financial management.
Soap4Life continues to provide the women soap makers with advanced training enabling them to produce and sell their soap products in greater market areas.
Soap4Life teaches women how to use locally available resources in a sustainable way. Soap4Life supports equally women and men of the villages to produce products from locally sourced coconuts, pig fat, fish scraps, pandan, turmeric and a variety of fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables. The villagers are trained to improve the quality of the products and also in marketing in order to increase their income. Once their soap products meet established standards, they are then offered to Fair Trade buyers for export. The training is generational as mothers will teach daughters and daughters will teach their children.
By rolling out our business model in remote villages in Lao where women become business owners, we can collectively help in eliminating gender inequality and empower women in society. We are a proud to be a part of a growing notion that says empowering women through business creates not only revenue generation, but also an entire global investment concept. What we hope our audience, donors and all stakeholders understand is that the objective of our on-going, never-going-to-die project is to create very real, tangible measures of success in the private business sector for the women whom we are teaching to make and market their soap products from locally sourced materials.
