Allafia

Alaffia’s Social Enterprise Model is a comprehensive approach to providing safe, efficacious hair, face and body care while alleviating poverty in West Africa through the preservation of traditional skills and knowledge in the global market. Allafia’s story began in 1996, when Olowo-n’djo Tchala met and fell in-love with Peace Corps Volunteer Prairie Rose Hyde while serving in Kaboli, Togo. Inspired by a shared calling to do right by the world, Alaffia, a social enterprise, was born. Founded in 2003, Alaffia continues to redefine the natural products industry through its values of Beauty, Equality and Empowerment, fair trade, and safe, efficacious hair, face and body care.
