Aloe Secundiflora Project

The women’s groups have communal farms where they grow Aloe Secundiflora. LPC supplies quality seedlings to the groups and works with them to help improve and diversify their production through permaculture techniques with the aim of providing both food crops as well as value addition of the aloe for cosmetic products (soap, crème, lotion, shampoo) which they sell locally.

The Market

LPC has also linked them to Lush handmade cosmetics where they are able to export fresh Aloe leaves to the UK, Japan, and Canada. They also produce cosmetic products for the local market. This has helped to increase their streams of income in addition to their pastoral way of life.
