We were pleased to find that the ladies of this village are being taught an invaluable skill. They are learning to make and sell soap. To their neighbors, their friends, and learning the importance of bathing and hygiene. We got to tag along as a member of the community facilitated this endeavor. The supplies are shipped to them and they mix and flavor the liquid soap. They also bath one child every time the soap is made to demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the soap. It is made to sit for 12 hours to thicken and then ready to be sold. They sell 1 liter for 75 shillings.
