Health Tips

Cleanse, tone and moisturize in the mornings, Steam your face, use spot control for pimples and always use up-going movements when washing your face.
Exfoliate your face to remove the dead skin with exfoliating cream (scup) with round particles to help lift all the dead skin.
Use a purifying mask to cover your face (but not the eye area) to add moisture to the face. Leave for 15 minutes.
With a cotton wool, put toner and wipe your face to lift off everything that may have been left from the mask.
For people with marks or different skin pigmentation use fade cream to help make it keep its original color, avoid anything with hydroquinol it is harsh for the skin.
To stop razor bumps, use "bump-patrol" before and after shaving everyday for 7 days, after cleansing your face and ..
.... put foundation only after your face has been cleansed, toned and moisturized. This will keep your face from wrinkling.
Choose your color foundation on your cheek and not your hand because the two have different tones. This helps to get a perfect blend of your face and neck.
Apply foundation with the sponge to every area of the face with a downward motion; this will make the small hairs on your face lay flat on the face.
Sprinkle and brush loose powder to the foundation with a face brush to settle and blend the foundation; if the powder is translucent it goes with any color foundation.
Note: if eyes are big, draw inside the eyelids and if small, draw them outside. Best color black/brown also if lips are big, draw in between the up lines and possibly with dark colors to pull them in and use darker lipsticks.
You should know whether you are doing make-up for day, night or wedding before you start. Steam your face and use spot control for pimples.
Mascaras - use it on your eyelashes from the eye pulling it away to elongate them. Do not curl your eyelashes and do not use petroleum jelly on your face. It will block your pores and this will affect your skin as you grow older.
Apply moisturizer to your face to give it protection from the sun because it has a sun protection factor of 15. Moisturise and protect your face with a cream that has an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15.

Community Matters


Education

What started as a modest initiative in providing school fees for a few children has become an ongoing project inproviding fees for 200 orphans supported by the Good Shepherd's Home run by the Missionaries of the Poor in Kampala's Mengo-Kisenyi slum. The volunteer work the brothers do in running the orphanage is really admirable and a must-see; in addition, their work does not discriminate against any orphan's religion, background, or gender. The Good Shepherd's Home also takes good care of senior citizens who otherwise could not cope on their own. Educators and physiotherapists wishing to volunteer some of their time are welcome to contact us or the Home directly.


Health

Recently launched, TAG International is a charitable organisation started by the Wissanji family, which owns Wispro. The first project, an eye camp designed to restore sight in Tororo, Eastern Uganda, was held in May 2010 with the amazing volunteer service and contributions of International Relief Teams (USA).  Plans for more eye camps and other health projects are already under way.


Social Marketing & Professional Development

To-date, we have offered hundreds of courses to train people in their specialisation within personal care. We've also given out tools, protective clothing, and sanitising materials.In 2011, we will see increasing portions of our marketing budget going to students and schools, through tuition fees, computers, and mentoring programs… as well as some ol' fashioned fun stuff that students always love.

Environment


Plastic
Instead of  ordering our plastic packaging (bottles, jars, lids), we have begun manufacturing our own, saving thousands of litres annually in the fuel required for delivery to our premises.. As much as possible, our waste is re-ground in-house and converted to jars & lids again.
Any waste that we cannot use is delivered to Plastic Recycling Industries Ltd (PRI), a few kilometres away. Our plastic containers bear the code of the plastic materials utilised, in order to assist the company in sorting any waste we send them. In turn, PRI grinds and washes such waste and supplies other industries with the flakes to manufacture other products.


Packaging

Waste generated from supplied products (such as cardboard- and plastic inner tubes for adhesive tapes and labels) are kept aside. We welcome innovative ideas on what to do with these materials; one example is filling Kampala's many potholes!


Lighting

As much as possible, we work under the natural sunlight that comes through translucent roofing sheets and the offices' large windows.


Water

Recycling and reuse is extremely important, but just as expensive. We welcome potential partners to work with us in this regard.


Public Sanitation

In 2003 and 2004, we "adopted" two main city markets as part of our Keep Our Country Green campaign. In 2011, we hope to re-engage with the new management of both markets, as well as of others, and reenergize our effort at helping maintain public hygiene.
What we did in 2003 and 2004 at Bugolobi Market and the open-air Owino Market:
One of the main motivations behind this initiative was to provide market vendors and shoppers a hygienic atmosphere in which to carry out their business.

  • Dozens of shop walls and the market roof at Bugolobi were cleaned and painted to provide a more sanitary and aesthetically pleasing environment.
  • Dozens of garbage bins were provided to shopkeepers at both markets to help with the collection of refuse, which otherwise is found littered on the market grounds and in drainage channels.

The management of Wispro is aware of the ecological footprint we leave behind as manufacturers, traders, and consumers. We are also aware that we cannot do all we wish we could without the help of others; thus, we are open to innovative and practical ideas that could help us reduce our footprint. If you wish to get in touch with us about this, please feel free to contact us here with attention to the directors.
