Hand-made laundry soap has improved hygiene at home, generated income for caregivers and strengthened the group that produces it.
At Imbabazi Centre for Women and Children we make our own hand-made bar soap.
ICWAC caregivers are always happy and motivated while making Imbabazi Star laundry bar soap. The soap has improved personal hygiene in their households, generated income for the caregivers and supported women's self-reliance.
It has also reduced dependency on purchased soap for household use, and strengthened teamwork among members through shared production and marketing efforts.
The women enjoy the process of making soap using their hands — and the product now sells beyond the centre.
