I bet you never thought I would say that!!! Well, they really are blushing with pride.

This is in response to our initiative when I visited the Gumu village in June as part of our helping hand programme. I noticed that the community did not have any public place of convenience. Through your purchases and kind donations, we have so far raised £759.72 [£325.00 made up of individual donations] of our £4,675.00 target. Yes, a long way to go but this figure would enable us start construction.
I then received another picture just as the colour of my cheeks was returning to its normal hue.
In order to keep the co-ops working as shea nuts are not available all year round, we also commissioned them to make some shea butter soaps for us.

However, the bubble machine was soon in action and here is the picture:
As always, the tools have been manufactured in Ghana:
Thank you all for your support. I can't wait to see these African beauties.
I am so full of pride as a soapmaker, a Ghanaian mumpreneur/socialpreneur and as a shea butter lover ♥
