The beauty industry is in Panama through February 13, 2019 to work with dozens of local women to provide service and education on personal care product development, hygiene and wellness and technology. The group is teaming up with the Center for Panamanian Women (CEMP), which works with low-income women located in indigenous areas to improve their quality of life by strengthening their leadership skills, promoting the formation and strengthening of grassroots women's organizations for community management and political advocacy, and enhancing skill sets to help provide women with a trade. The Panama Beauty Project is organized by Chris Humberstone, Humberstone International.
