- Project Overview
- Student Role
The purpose of the project was to help women become financially independent by building off of their skill in creating soaps and shampoos. This will create many desperately needed business opportunities for women who would otherwise have few ways to earn their own money and be independent. This project led to the creation of a contract with a large hotel in Guatemala City to create and sell 300 bottles of shampoo each month.
- Help create soaps and shampoos
- Create a manual to teach how to create the soaps and shampoos, how to advertise and market the product
- Teach basic business skills to local women
