Project Description
In Spring 2007, leaders of Markala, Mali's women's association (ABEF) proposed a project during a visit with Executive Director, Scott Lacy. After developing a proposal and project plan with ABEF, African Sky provided capital funds to pay for materials to produce ABEF's first batch of soap. ABEF used project funds to produce soap that they sold in local markets. They produced and sold over 300 bars of soap for their first batch, which provided enough cash to produce a second batch of soap. As of July 2008, ABEF has produced three batches of soap. Some ABEF soaps are now available for purchase at African Sky events such as our Annual Silent Auction in Northeast Ohio.
