Update

By Mastora Bakhiet | Project Leader

Hello our dear friends and supporters,

 On behalf of Darfur Women Network, I am so pleased to share with you some information regarding our project “ Soapmaking for Health & Earning Income” First of all, I would like to thank you for your support and for your generosity to support the project that benefit the survivors of genocide in Darfur Refugee camp in Chad.

 Regarding progress, we are still on the same point. We have women in the camp; they were trained very well to make soap. However, we haven’t yet are able to afford the materials that needed to start their economic empowerment project to produce soap for the refugees there.  However, lack of income to purchase soap  is critical. Children their have no toys ;they pay with sand to build  dream houses. Washing their hands is challenging, so we trying to do our best to reach out to our donors to help us to connect the project with their families and friends to help.

 We are still working diligently to provide the materials below:

                                                                  

Materials that are needed for soapmaking project:

  • Rubber gloves
  • Goggles for protection from the hazardous chemicals-cannot be found locally)
  • Soap Cutter ( Manua- a soap cutter is used to cut the soap into bars, cannot be found locally)
  • Soap Mixing Tools 
  • Soap Maker Scales
  • Soap Molds 
  • Soap Molds 
  • Sodium hydroxide

The Darfur Women Network participates in Spirit & Place event on November 2016 and will demonstrate soapmaking and cutting to have people experience little side of life in the refugee camps.  Then, will follow with fundraiser to enable us to produce soap to achieve our goal.

 

Please, visit our project on GlobalGiving side and help us to make difference.

 

 

 Thank you
