Sa - Punë handmade Coconut and olive oil soaps from the Roma/Ashkali in Fushë Kosovë, Kosovo



If you are looking for a nice gift, consider helping out the impoverished Roma/Ashkali community in Kosovo by buying some beautiful, low priced and hiqh quality handmade soap from them.
"Sa - Punë" is a micro finance project from the ideas partnership (http://theideaspartnership.org/),
an initiative from the author and activist Elizabeth Gowing (http://www.elizabethgowing.com/) and others working with her. 
The name "Sa - Punë" is based on the term "sa punë" (albanian for how much work), and is a play on words from the albanian (and italian) term "sapone" for soap.





They are helping the Roma/Ashkali community in Fushë Kosovë who lives in bitter poverty.
Proceeds from the sale of the soap directly helps these people.
The latest product is a handmade coconut and olive oil soap. It is made from Olive Oil, Coconut Oil & Essential Oils, and made with no animal products or testing.

The price for a package of soap is only 2€, ( and in quantities of more than 50+ soaps only 1.5€).
