Naturally Australian Products (NAP) has partnered with Eswatini-based essential oil producers to source certified organic Eucalyptus radiata, Eucalyptus dives and Eucalyptus smithii essential oils.
According to a release from NAP, Eswatini, Africa, grapples with the highest HIV rate in the entire world, and more than 54% of children under 15 years old are classified as orphaned or vulnerable children. NAP’s newest essential oil supplier is embedded in the local community, driven to create sustainable enterprises within Eswatini. These enterprises employ local residents and generate profits that fund family-based orphan care and family reunification programs, paving the way for brighter futures.
The supplier’s co-founder shares their belief that "Every transaction has the power to evoke humanity and promote positive change. Through our work, we aim to amplify the voices and stories of Eswatini's essential oil producers while supporting the welfare of orphaned and vulnerable children."
NAP’s CEO, Robyn Ingersole, shared, “By opening new market avenues for Eswatini's essential oil botanical growers, these producers are enhancing economic opportunities while nurturing a sense of pride and empowerment within the community.”
