While tensions are mounting in the Goma region of DRC, in South Kivu, eastern DRC, entrepreneur Solange Kwinja is revolutionizing skincare by transforming coffee beans into artisanal soaps. Her company, Kitoko Soap, is gaining popularity for its natural ingredients and skin benefits, but its impact goes far beyond beauty.
By employing and training over 1,500 women and youth, Kwinja’s initiative is creating new economic opportunities and empowering local communities. Through her innovative approach, she is not only boosting the regional economy but also highlighting the potential of African-grown resources in global markets.

The caffeine in coffee helps stimulate blood flow, making it effective against skin conditions such as acne, eczema, cellulite, and stretch marks, and helping to address those areas in need of renewal and regeneration.
