Lush

LUSH Cosmetics is an international company that sells fresh, ethical and handmade cosmetics.  LUSH Webiste. 

LUSH raises funds through the sales of the Charity Pot, which is a great hand and body lotion made from Fair Trade cocoa butter. Every penny from the sales goes into a “pot” that is then used to fund a group of handpicked grassroots activities (charity pot site). For more info about the Charity Pot and the other projects they support, check out their site:  Charity Pot.

In July 2008, LUSH supported our project in Rwanda and they recently contributed almost the entire project funding for our pilot in Gulu, Uganda (Check out the videos). 

OA sends a huge thanks to LUSH (and to the customers who have purchased the Charity Pots) — the children and communities in Rwanda and Uganda are extremely grateful!

We encourage everyone to consider doing some of their shopping at LUSH as your purchases have great value for those on the receiving end of the supported projects.

Since 2008, we have been lucky enough to have many personal interactions with some people at LUSH and are honored by their belief and support of our work. 

Without this partnership, we would not have been able to do what we have done in Rwanda and Uganda.
