doTERRA, the world’s leading global essential oils company, today announced its social impact and community building initiatives in Kenya.
Since launching operations in rural Kenya two years ago with its partner, Fairoils, doTERRA’s Co-Impact Sourcing®initiative has partnered with smallholder farmers in southern Kenya to create hundreds of jobs and is expected to create over 5,000 rural farming jobs by 2020. The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® has also provided funding and resources to complete nine community projects that have benefitted the health and well-being of thousands of Kenyans – with more in the pipeline.
“As doTERRA’s demand for essential oils continues to grow, so does our global supply chain, which now extends to more than 40 countries,”
said Corey Lindley, doTERRA’s Founding Executive, President, and CFO.
“We’re very pleased to improve the quality of life in this area and bring ethically responsible employment in essential oil production to low-income Kenyan communities. From rehabilitating dilapidated schools for Kenyan children to training farmers to increase their capacity and earning potential, our initiatives have already made a significant social impact in two short years. We look forward to expanding these initiatives to create positive impact on an even larger scale in the coming years.”
