ARGAN OIL BRINGS MEDICAL CARE TO MOROCCAN WOMEN

摘要

AN ALL-FEMALE co-operative in the Souss Valley area of Morocco has gained better access to health care, thanks to its partnership with Earthoil. The co-operative is responsible for the production of the world's only Fairtrade organ oil. A full check-up was completed for each woman in the 60-strong group. A medical record was also created for each, with the majority having never previously seen a doctor. The initiative was funded by fair trade premiums, which have been paid as a result of Earthoil providing the co-operative members with a direct route to the global cosmetics market.
