My organization is helping to support this small business grow and be able to support the community for projects on HIV/AIDS. We need one hundred votes for them to get started on givemeaning.com, then people will be able to donate to this organization. The Namibian Womens Health Network is support their project. Here is the details:
The Katutura Soap Project is a non-governmental and not-for-gain community based HIV project. It started to operate in 2009, beginning at a local shelter where women in need went to seek support. The purpose of the project is to offer an income generating possibility for HIV positive women in Namibia. Today there are five HIV positive mothers whom are working daily to produce ethical, environmentally friend and locally-sourced olive oil soaps. The ladies and their families also have a support group, and run awareness days and workshops for the community on issues related to HIV and AIDS. The goals of the project include: increasing awareness on HIV related issues, decreasing stigma associated with HIV, increasing community involvement and empowerment, creating a functioning network with other organizations working on HIV, increasing the understanding of the rights and responsibilities of people living with HIV, creating a culturally and linguistically appropriate support network for people living with HIV.
