The Hummingfish Foundation is working with a group of women in Timor-Leste to help re-brand and export there beautiful line of all natural soaps, called AI-FUNAN, or “flower” in the Timorese language.

Before the Hummingfish Foundation began helping the Ai-Funan ladies re-brand their soap, they were selling their product to the domestic market only, and making a small living as a result. This re-branding project has added value to their product and given them access to markets in countries all over the world.

The Hummingfish Foundation is helping the ladies of Ai-Funan generate more income, which will have an enormous and long-lasting impact not only on their lives, but the lives of their families as well. Making this business successful will turn them into role models for other young women and people with nature-friendly business ideas all across Timor-Leste. They are clearly green entrepreneurs in every sense of the word.

Coconut, Guava, Candlenut, Frangipani, Lemongrass and Coffee are the six sumptuous flavors being launched. Each bar of Ai-Funan soap is handmade and contains 100% all-natural ingredients including locally-produced all natural coconut and palm oils.

Ai-Funan soaps are exclusively available through us at Homegrown Foods. Please visit our store today for more information
