How to make soap!



Our new “Wash” project has got off to a flying start, raising awareness of good sanitation methods and  the importance of good hygiene and sanitation, in order to prevent the spread of disease. Our trainees were taught all about washing their hands using “tip-tap” water containers, and where to site latrines, bathrooms, rubbish pits and water sources around the home.  

A highlight of a recent two-day training session was a colourful demonstration of how to make soap. Our trainer, Mrs Mumbwe, showed local householders how to make soap from ingredients found in the local environment, including grass, roots, stems and leaves.

Here is a selection of pictures showing our enthusiastic trainees joining in what look like a messy process!
