Foothold Market

Foothold Market Makers from Appalachia to Africa: A Market with a global purpose. Foothold Soaps are hand-made with only essential, wholesome products.

These soaps are made by hand and support Foothold International as they work to provide clean water & sanitation to Kenya, East Africa. Visit our website at www.footholdinternational.org

Our ladies group, the Namelok Ladies told us, “The word Namelok means “something sweet” in the Masai language.” In the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Kenya, East Africa, the Namelok women’s group chose the name bec

ause they said, “Where God is, you will find something sweet.”

Through the provision of a microloan, the women started a soap-making business, providing affordable soap to their community and donating soap to local school children. While this soap was made in the USA, your purchase directly supports the Namelok women’s group and helps to start more groups like Namelok to empower vulnerable women and provide affordable, sustainable resources to prevent life-threatening diseases in rural indigenous communities in East Africa.

Good news — our long-awaited Wildlife Works shipment has finally made it through customs! 🎉

This order has been delayed much longer than expected, and we’ve anxious to get these beautiful pieces into Foothold Market.

Mission Monday:
Keeping girls in school is one of the most powerful ways to prevent exploitation and break cycles of poverty.

When a girl has access to education, menstrual supplies, clean water, & support from her community, she has a safer future, a stronger voice, & more choices for her life.

Through Foothold International, your support helps provide practical resources like school fees, hygiene supplies, menstrual pads, and community education so girls in Kenya can stay in class with dignity and confidence.

Because every girl deserves the chance to learn, grow, and become who she was created to be.

Feel Good Friday is all about slowing down and choosing a little care for yourself.

Our body lotion is made with wholesome, skin-loving ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, and essential oil blends—rich, nourishing, and simple enough to make everyday self-care feel special.

We also love that it comes in sustainable packaging, because feeling good should be good for more than just us.

Stop in and find your favorite blend—whether you’re drawn to something bright and citrusy, earthy and grounding, cozy and seasonal, or ready for a little “Take a Hike” moment.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just a lotion you love, a scent that lifts your mood, and a few minutes to breathe.
