Omaha, Nebraska- On March 28th GROW Nebraska Women’s Business Center celebrated an amazing group of Entrepreneurs as the first graduating Class of Business Plan: Snap & Boost 2023 and the organization couldn’t be prouder!


This year, Cohort 1 was made up of individuals representing businesses in the industries of Transportation, Technology, Home Care, Childcare and Food Services. Each Entrepreneur completed this 6-week training program not only gaining knowledge and tools but also completed Business Plans.

We also heard from Kodjovi Zounon with Crowned Warrior LLC who won The Trailblazer Award. He states,” Business Plan: Snap & Boost was a great program that really helped me understand the basics of business strategies and creating a success business plan.”

College Trip to Peru Sparks World-Changing Nebraska Soap Business

Six years ago, Andrew Vrbas was a budget-strapped college student making soap in his college apartment. He had an idea for a business that would help change the lives of people around the world. After just five years in business, his Pacha Soap Co™ enterprise is already doing that. The business that he and his wife, Abi, started in Hastings in 2013 has donated 3.4 million bars of soap to people in developing countries, has created 256 jobs in Nebraska and around the world, has provided 74,078 children with hand-washing education and has created wells to provide 4,000 people with clean water. And in 2017, Whole Foods honored Pacha Soap with its 2017 Supplier of the Year award. It all started with Andrew’s 2010 trip to Peru. “As a junior in college, I didn’t know that a trip to volunteer for others would ignite a life change in me,” Andrew said. “My trip took me to Peru, South America, to volunteer at a local school and then later on, a local constructio

Shepherd’s Dairy 4 Ewe Products Provide Natural Moisturizing, Healing Option

Beverly Trew is a Registered Nurse who appreciates the purity and healing properties of all-natural products. That’s why she has always loved Shepherd’s Dairy 4 Ewe’s lotions and soaps. When the company’s founder, Kim Curtis, was ready to sell her sheep-milk soap business 10 years ago, Beverly decided to take action and purchase the Anselmo-based business. “It is a good product, and it’s natural,” Beverly said. Sheep milk has the highest butter fat of any animal milked (besides water buffalo), Beverly explains. The sheep milk is an effective and softening skin cleanser that leaves the skin silky smooth with a hydrated appearance. “It’s moisturizing,” Beverly said. “It’s healing. It helps sun damaged skin. It just feels so different than other lotions. It’s thicker and richer.” Beverly purchases the milk from a sheep herd in Bushnell near the Wyoming border and makes all the products herself with lots of help from family, including her eight grandchildren.
