About CEO

Gloria Nakawooya is my name. I am a 39 year old Ugandan woman. A parent of two young gorgeous girls.

This business is dear to me as it was concieved and first handled by someone who has since passed away.

Over the years, we have sourced luffas from villages around lakes victoria & Kyoga and along River Nile. Incidentally, this area ranks highly in poverty the locals have a very poor quality of life. These people make us want to keep going.

Our stones are sourced from Kisoro district at the foot of one of the Virunga mountains. This product that has always been ignored has great potential to improve the fortunes of several people in the value chain.

Our staff is lean, comprising of myself, an adminisrator and 2 product staff, handling our two major products.

We implement a thorough quality control plan with standards and specifications that the products must meet as well as the methods & technics that will ensure they are met.
