From Sea to Store -
AHAVA’s Future Generation
We are invested in building a better future for our community. That's why we are proud to offer our Sea-to-Store program for young entrepreneurs for over 15 years and counting. Our program is all about empowering the next generation of innovators by teaching them about the incredible natural resources endemic to the Dead Sea. From learning about the essential elements found in this unique area to exploring the wonders of science and industry, our program gives sixth graders the tools they need to one day become successful entrepreneurs.
Our students get an exclusive look at our factory and the entire production process in this one-year program. They get hands-on experience in everything from cream manufacturing to quality control and product packaging. Plus, they get to hear from professionals in the industry about topics like research and development, operations and marketing.
But it's not just about the factory. Our program is designed to give our students a holistic view of the world around them. They get to witness the mining of raw materials, explore the natural environment, and learn about sustainability and conservation. At the end of the year, they get to present the amazing products they have created, some of which have become staple products in our amazing skincare offering. If this does not constitute a circular economy, we do not know what does.
We believe that investing in education and entrepreneurship is the key to a brighter future. By giving young people the skills they need to succeed, we're ensuring that our community will continue to thrive for generations to come.
Here's an extraordinary detail: Did you know that the Dead Sea, where the young entrepreneurs in our Sea-to-Store program learn about incredible natural resources, is the most mineral-rich body of water in the world? Its mineral content is nearly 10 times that of regular seawater! This high concentration of minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and potassium, has been appreciated for thousands of years for their therapeutic and cosmetic properties. Even the Queen of Sheba used the Dead Sea as her private spa.
