Thank you to everyone who has supported soap making training for South Sudanese, Congolese, and other adolescent African girls living in Imvepi Refugee Settlement in northern Uganda!
Soap is a basic yet essential household supply. Recent cutbacks in relief, including household items like soap, are making life much harder for forcibly displaced and traumatized young people living on the margins within the settlement. Basic hygiene is essential in refugee contexts to help keep our students and their children safe and healthy. Soap making also offers them an avenue to produce income, helping to reduce the threat of sexual exploitation. That’s why we believe so strongly in our soap making programs!
Soap making training sessions continue at our Imvepi Girl Empowerment Centers (GECs). Since the start of our fundraising project in July 2023, ChildVoice staff led 35 liquid- and bar-soap making training sessions!
Again, thank you for supporting this project, and thank you for helping our students provide much-needed hygiene products to other refugees living in Imvepi Refugee Settlement!
