About

AFRiLOSOPHY is a Social Enterprise established in 2015, specialized in manufacturing beauty products mainly from natural and organic ingredients grown and processed in Sierra Leone and the sub region.

We enhance local raw materials to international standards, at affordable prices.

Each product is meticulously designed to provide a healthy alternative to unhealthy and, often toxic imports.

Supporting our brand is not only good for your long term health, it also helps sustain community engagement and capacity building to girls and women.

We provide training in both small scale local manufacturing techniques as well as the accompanying financial management skills to ensure women are equipped with the right tools to be establish their own businesses.

The AFRiLOSOPHY Training and Manufacturing Centre offers marketable skills for entrepreneurship and business financial management to youth and women in rural areas.

Our mission is to enable women and youth be economically empowered by providing relevant training for entrepreneurship in new and non traditional manufacturing sectors, including cosmetics and shoe manufacturing. These standardized courses are designed to be completed within a short time.

By enhancing their capacity to earn a living through their talents, we create a more skilled workforce and ensure a competitive advantage for Sierra Leone.

Through the retail of these locally made natural body care products and hand made accessories, we are able to sustain our free training programs, and create job opportunities locally.

We aim to provide a platform, as well as access to international markets for locally made quality goods.
