Shop Zero™ is 100% female-owned. We empathise and align our values with the challenges women face in South Africa. That is why we love this delicious-smelling natural vanilla liquid soap, how and where it’s made.  Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Network operates from the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children in Manenberg, Cape Town. They have partnered to establish this unique soap-making project. Its aim is to empower abused women by nurturing their entrepreneurial skills.

Social upliftment

Manenberg is part of the Cape Flats. The area has high rates of crime, gangsterism, child abuse, unemployment, substance abuse and domestic violence. The Saartjie Baartman Centre facilitates the management, treatment and prevention of violence against women and children. It also offers 24-hour crisis response, a residential shelter and transitional housing for abused women and their children, as well as legal assistance and job-skills training. Being creative and learning a new skill can also help a person heal from traumatic experiences. Be sure to also have a look at our reusable face wipes that empower victims of human trafficking as well as these hair scrunchies provide Income for the victims.
