I found a beacon of hope and purpose – AloeGlows.
It all started in the heart of Takoradi, where I, like many, felt the profound impact of COVID-19. Fueled by a desire to make a difference, I turned to what I knew best – inventing solutions. In the face of heightened hygiene concerns, I began creating hand wash liquid soap I had learned on YouTube, a simple yet vital product.
The first batch wasn't just a response to the pandemic; it was an evident care for my community. I donated the soap to junior high schools in Takoradi, recognizing the importance of instilling hygienic practices among the younger generation to promote good health/wellbeing.
Earlier this year, I joined a mental health advocacy society in Ashaiman and during our first meeting, something really interesting caught my attention. The teenagers we invited ranted on how there's huge pressure on them from peers, modernization to have a good outward appearance. Some do have acne and burns on their faces and skin. It was indeed overwhelming to hear their complaints. I wanted them to feel good in their natural skin.
From this reason, AloeGlows was born, not just as a business but as a social enterprise with a heart. It's more than a skincare/hygienic brand; it's a commitment to creating positive change. Our mission extends beyond profits, focusing on service and impact.
As a testament to our values, AloeGlows operates as a social enterprise, investing not just in the business but in the well-being of our community. Each production cycle which is once every month yields 300 pieces of our liquid soap enriched with the pure Aloe Vera gel. What sets us apart is our dedication to giving back. From profits made, 60 products are donated to social welfare homes, benefitting less privileged kids, orphans, specially challenged children, as well as maternal and children clinics in Ashaiman. Also, as part of our vision and goals, AloeGlows hopes to start training school dropouts in my community in order to create several employment opportunities for all.
So, when you invest in AloeGlows, you're not just investing in skincare/good hygiene; you're investing in a community, in education, and in the well-being of those who need it most. AloeGlows is more than a product; it's a glow of hope, a beacon of change, and a promise to illuminate lives through the power of skincare and service. Join us on this radiant journey, and let's glow together.
