Las Malvinas is a slum in the Dominican Republic that is home to over 600 families, most of them living in poverty. Tucked behind an industrial zone bordering the Isabella River in Santo Domingo , this former empty land was squatted back in 2007 and quickly grew into a tight knit community that is today Las Malvinas II. Kevin, our founder, first visited the community in 2008, bringing temporary housing through a local nonprofit. 6 years later, Esperanza Soaps was born, created to make the world’s best soap and to be a vehicle to invest in the families of Las Malvinas. We want to be a positive support in their path to build a better life for themselves and their children.
