Through our partnership with Pacha Soap Co., Foothold hires local groups to handcraft soap for their community schools. Instead of sending bars of soap overseas, Pacha is supporting the local indigenous and vulnerable communities Foothold serves while utilizing locally available resources.
Before training any group or charitable small business, Foothold makes sure they have a viable business plan. We help them identify available resources, assess the market demand as well as market prices and provide micro loans when necessary. Our first question to the group, is “How will you survive when we are gone?” These conversations set the tone for our work and help us identify groups or charitable businesses that are a good match for us to work.
