By purchasing a holiday gift from Out of Africa, you'll not only get an amazing skin care produced by women's co-ops in Benin, West Africa, you'll also be responsible for helping the children in West Africa become educated.
Out of Africa was established to create more jobs and increase economic stability for West African women. The products are made from pure, unrefined shea butter and include body butters, lotions, soaps and lip balms.
As if purchasing from a co-op that gives women the opportunity to earn a fair wage wasn't fabulous enough, 3% of all sales go School Children United, a program that provides scholarships and education to children in West Africa. (Check out the amazing video featuring some of their students.) This just became one of my new favorite organizations. (buy direct)
