Soap Hope: 100% of Profits Lift Women from Poverty (at least for a year)

Shopping is a necessity of modern life (overconsumerism is not), but it does not have to be so evil as profits can be used for good. Soap Hope has exactly that mission in mind targeting women living in poverty:

Women! Women are the key to ending poverty. Women save more, invest more, and are more likely to use their earnings to educate their children and break the cycle of poverty. Soap Hope creates a wonderful connection between successful women and developing women: successful women buy our products, and developing women use our programs to lift themselves from poverty.

Following the "Good Returns" model, 100% of Soap Hope's profits support healthcare, education,water, and opportunity for women.

It's simple: every dollar of profit earned by a Good Returns company goes first to an institution that uses it to solve world problems. After those profits have spent a year in service, the money is returned to Soap Hope. It's like the Peace Corps for money: we volunteer every dollar for a year of service.

Heart and Mind. Soap Hope is a for-profit company with a non-profit mission. We designed the Good Returns model on purpose to combine the best of the business and non-profit worlds. Soap Hope runs with the efficiency and power of a business - then uses the profits with the heart of a nonprofit.

I have to admit I don't quite understand how the money can be returned, unless it is a micro-loan situation like Kiva.

From Pangea Organics to biokleen, Soap Hope features great natural products from companies you can trust! If you need to shop online, Soap Hope helps you do so with a clear conscious that you are supporting women around the world.

Disclosure: I was sent free samples of these products to review. No prior assurances were given as to whether the review be positive or negative.
