By Mastora Bakhiet | Project Leader

Dear friends,

Happy New Year to all of you, our dear donors! I wish you a successful and peaceful year! I am so glad to talk to you again, to learn about the Soap Making project, and what we need to help us to reach our distention.

The Darfur Women Network (DWN) is grateful for its partnership with GlobalGiving and its support, connection, and referral. The DWN believes that with your support and GlobalGiving partnership the survivors will receive the materials that they need to make soap to achieve our shared goal.

I wish that 2016 will be a year of peace to all the survivors of Darfur genocide. They are still hoping that we will be able to get ingredients for them. They have no soap or money or source of money. Those survivors’ women, who produce Safe Stoves for Darfur women Network, are able to purchase soap because they earn money from our economic empowerment project.

During the year-end-campaign, we are able to raise $150. We are grateful for the generosity of our donors and supporters. We are still seeking soap making ingredients and materials to produce soap. The four soap production teams are waiting for our generous donors to secure these materials to help them with personal hygiene. The needed materials are

Sodium hydroxide
Soap Molds - a traditional wooden soap mold
Soap Drying Trays
Soap Maker Scales
Soap Mixing Tools (Use a container made out of heat resistant material only when making soap)
Safety Equipment (rubber gloves and goggles for protection from the hazardous chemicals)
Soap Cutter (Manual) - a soap cutter is used to cut the soap into bars.

Now, the survivors of Darfur genocide are in need to produce soap more than ever.

Please, give us feedback to improve our work, share this report you’re your network and family members to make change among those who need us the most for their personal hygiene: https://goto.gg/18422

Thank you for your support, your passion, and your willingness to support women to change the world.
