Khoelife Organic Soap and Oils Primary Co-operative

Promoting women entrepreneurship through marketing organic soap and cosmetics.

2014 SEED South Africa Award Lauréat-e Green Technologies Cape Town, South Africa

Soap and cosmetics made energy-efficiently and with renewable energy, rooted in indigenous knowledge systems.

Our greatest achievement so far is that our soaps are being used in Water Sanitation and Hygiene programmes at 15 schools in the Eastern Cape.

Regular arts and culture events on indigenous knowledge systems will work to change young minds and consumption habits.

We do not create jobs for women but support them to create their own jobs.

Essentially what we are doing is educating the public about climate justice.

Khoelife Organic Soap and Oils Co-operative combines a franchise model with a microloans system. Members of the co-operative receive training and peer-to-peer support regarding management, finance and marketing in addition to receiving start-up capital. The purpose of the enterprise is to enable women entrepreneurs to set up independently-owned businesses.

As the first cohort begins to make headway, part of their commission and loan repayments will be used to support a new set of entrepreneurs, thus eliminating the need for external funds. The traditional, labourintensive production process relies completely on renewable energy sources, thus reducing carbon emissions.
