Natural moisturising soaps handcrafted by Rohingya refugees, with skill and dignity, offering them a chance to earn an income to support their families.
The marginalized Rohingya people are one of the most persecuted minority fleeing from Rakhine, Myanmar. Many live in overcrowded housing with lack of access to educational opportunities, employment and healthcare.
Tensions between Rohingya and Buddhist Arakanese in the Rakhine State have led to large-scale attacks on Rohingya. It has now escalated into a humanitarian crisis with hundreds of thousands of mostly Rohingya Muslims driven from their homes.
We take individual or corporate volume orders at very reasonable prices.
