Firstly, the rationale behind the creation of Secret Grand Mère Co Ltd was to provide education to pre-primary school children. In 1996, Mrs. Anooradah Pooran opened a pre-primary school at Chemin Grenier to provide free education to needy students. After 3 years, the school population grew from a mere 5 to 55 children.
Mrs. Anooradah Pooran founded APEDED (Association Pour L’Education Des Enfants Defavorisés) in 1996 with the main objective to empower women to become entrepreneurs at their respective residences. This initiative enabled them to start work through cultivating medicinal plants and selling the leaves to Secret Grand Mère Co Ltd which produce herbal fusion products. It was also a means to generate additional income for their families.
This initiative has also created a positive effect in the society through sensitizing health & wellness of Mauritians via the use of traditional medicines.
