We are excited to announce that we are launching another fundraiser for our partner Women Entrepreneurs and Leaders (WEL NGO). For the past few years we have been working with Madame (Mme) Kouadio, Co-founder and President of WEL, to raise money and plan workshops to teach young Ivorian women how to become successful entrepreneurs.

This year, we are working with Camilia Majette, owner of Nailah’s Shea, to host a 3-day workshop teaching 40 Ivorian women to make Shea butter based beauty products, and package and market them. Nailah’s Shea strives to provide affordable premium natural beauty and body care solutions that are ethically sourced by only using Fair Trade certified organic Shea butter, and organic essential oils, herbs, and spices.

Our fundraising goal is $5,500 which would cover the cost of all the workshop materials and Camilia Majette’s travel to Côte d’Ivoire. If you are interested in donating, please click the button below.

A personal note from Mme Kuadio:
“During my adolescence, I noticed that women are fragilized (easily broken or destroyed) in their family home because of lack of means,” she continued, “my own auntie - a mother of 10 children - suffered in her marriage, frequently beaten by her husband and when he did not give her money to cook for the family, she and her children would stay hungry. My own mother helped the family as she could, however, this was not enough to ensure that her children could attend school, which in Côte d’Ivoire can mean the difference between jobs and housing, or homelessness.”

We greatly appreciate any interest in our work with WEL NGO. With your support, we are able to keep making positive impacts for vunerable women across the world.
