A Team of Unemployed Caregivers Create Business During Pandemic to Get Soap into their Community

5/24/2020

 
Picture
This team of caregivers joined forces and began training on how to make a versatile liquid soap that can be used to cleanse hands, dishes and clothing. When this skill is learned, they will officially launch their business through our micro-loan program, earning a fair wage for creating, selling and distributing this in-demand soap to nearby communities.

To date, we've delivered over 5,000 pounds of rice, pasta, oil, and lemons into our girls' homes.

To reach our girls through this pandemic, we must support their caregivers, ensuring they're safe and will re-open their businesses when this passes.

​These are hardworking women, anxious to get back to work and extremely grateful for this interim support.
​Much more to come as we continue our relief efforts in the community.
If you have the room, there's still time to give today.

Each student's caregiver is receiving 15kg (33 pounds) of rice for her household. Our next delivery includes cooking oil + lemons; both are high in-demand items. In addition, a three-month supply of soap has already been provided to 155 families.

Much more to come as we continue our relief efforts in the community. If you have the room, there's still time to give today.

We know this is an unpredictable and challenging time for so many right now. Please stay safe and check-in on family & friends.
