Our Local Partners in Chokwe
are the Vicentine Sisters Daughters of Charity, both in the SLM and SVP
schools. These Sisters are entrepreneurial, with an admirable skill to
CREATE. For the Basic Baskets distributed every month to the 156 children
sponsored in SLM by our Portuguese sister-charity, soap is part of
the baskets and has several uses (to do the laundry, the dishes and personal
hygiene).The Sisters in Santa Luisa de Marillac had the great idea of learning how to produce soap and in the process creating jobs for several local moms in the community. Instead of buying to other suppliers the Sisters are now making artisanal soap themselves!
In 2019 the purpose of this initiative is to increase production in order to include these artisanal soaps also in the basic basket of the neighbouring school at São Vicente de Paulo, a total of 228 baskets each month!
ALG supported this initiative enthusiastically within the spirit of income generation and female entrepreneurship it is a great idea!
Help us to keep telling more stories like this in 2019, with a Little Gesture (here)
