Raw material procurement
Raw materials and packaging materials at prices SHGs can afford.
We source raw materials, tools and packaging materials in bulk for SHGs, CLFs and NFCs, so small groups pay closer to wholesale prices and get consistent quality.
Overview
Buying together costs less
A single SHG buying beads, moulds, jars or labels in small quantities pays retail prices, often from far away. By pooling demand across the groups we work with, we buy from reliable suppliers in bulk and pass on the savings.
This also keeps quality consistent from batch to batch — which matters when a buyer reorders.
