Giving back
3 wonderful ways that make me love dōTERRA even more!
Healing Hands, Humanitarian Partnerships and Co-Impact sourcing are dōTERRA’s ways of giving back to the world.
Healing Hands
dōTERRA’s Mission
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation seeks to bring healing and hope to the world, for lives free of disease and poverty, and to ultimately empower impoverished communities with the tools needed to become self-reliant. Through projects addressing the needs of microcredit lending; access to healthcare, education, sanitation and clean water; and fighting child sex-trafficking, individuals are empowered, and lives are changed.
Here is a link about the global footprint to date.
Humanitarian Partnerships
dōTERRA’s Mission
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is proud to partner with Days for Girls.
Founded in 2008 to create a more dignified, free, and educated world through access to lasting feminine hygiene solutions, they seek to help women and girls discover their potential and self-worth.
Days for Girls works to provide every girl in the world the education, safety, and dignity that they deserve and thanks to a global grassroots network of thousands of volunteers and supporters on six continents, Days for Girls has reached women and girls in over 100 countries.
Microcredit Lending
Insanitation, viruses, and lack of education can result from poverty, but Mentors International is giving microloans to impoverished entrepreneurs to fight these effects.
The founders of Mentors International are determined to stop this repeating cycle, and they are doing it by giving impoverished entrepreneurs small microloans with affordable interest rates. These microloans help business owners to purchase tools and raw materials, increase product variety and quality, and hire employees.
Mentors International also provides training and consulting services so entrepreneurs can make better business and financial decisions.
Piura project
Piura is a large coastal city in northern Peru with a population of about 400,000 people.
The people of Piura are proud of the progress their city and country have made towards modernization and international relations and in their bid to end cycles of poverty and neglect, they simply need a helping hand to create a sustainable solution for the economically disenfranchised in their community.
Working closely with supportive city and state government leaders, Mentors International and the Healing Hands Foundation have firmly established the framework for administering microcredit loans and providing small business training in Piura.
Chiquimula Project
Chiquimula is a city on the Eastern border of Guatemala and since March 2013, the micro-credit lending program in Chiquimula has assisted 449 active clients with a total of almost $150,000 disbursed in loans so far,
with nearly perfect repayment of the loans.
In this area, the program blessed the lives of approximately 7,630 members of the families involved, and generated approximately 641 new jobs during the planting and harvesting season.
Combating Sex Trafficking
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is proud to be partnering with Operation Underground Railroad (OUR Rescue) to rescue children from sex trafficking by utilizing some of the world’s experts in extraction operations and anti-child trafficking efforts.
OUR Rescue’s Jump Team, consisting of former CIA, Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives, lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts to rescue children being trafficked for sex. The children rescued from these extraction efforts are then rehabilitated by OUR Rescue’s aftercare program, and the perpetrators are arrested, tried, and convicted to ensure that they don’t traffic children again.
The Social Teahouse
Cō-Impact Sourcing partner.
A partnership with Bulgarian social enterprise the Social Teahouse provides orphans with equal opportunities.
This organization is dedicated to creating equal opportunities for children in Bulgaria as they age out of the orphanage system. Coming out of orphanages and social state care institutions, these children lack education and literacy, personal and emotional development, equal access to the labour market as an instrument for successful social integration, and professional opportunities.
In an effort to create equal opportunities for these young adults, the Social Teahouse focuses on providing children between the ages of 14 and 18 with the skills and competencies they need to develop an independent lifestyle beyond orphanage life by bridging their time in the orphanage and their life after.
dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation in Kenya
Cō-Impact Sourcing partner.
A partnership with the Asante Foundation and a Cō-Impact Sourcing partner is providing a Kenya community with clean water and educational opportunities.

CHOICE Humanitarian
dōTERRA International and CHOICE Humanitarian Add to Nepal Relief Efforts
Deaths, injuries, and high risks of infection all resulted from the 2015 Nepal earthquake, but organization like CHOICE Humanitarian were ready to help.
In an effort to raise money to rebuild Nepal after the devastating earthquake where many Nepalese suffered from homelessness, starvation, disease, and especially infection. The aftermath of the earthquake left the Nepalese wandering the streets in search of water. Together, they were able to help the Nepalese get sustainable food, hygiene kits, and water purification tablets, as well as provide the people with the right tools to rebuild their beautiful country, restore schools back to their lands, and obtain jobs which helped boost their economy.
