The Training Program
The training sessions are designed to be comprehensive and hands-on. Participants are introduced to the basics of soap chemistry, the importance of hygiene, and the economic benefits of producing and selling these products. They were taught to make liquid soap using simple method, with readily available ingredients. The process involves mixing water, caustic soda, and other additives to create a versatile cleaning product.
Given the importance of hygiene, especially in the wake of global health concerns, the production of antiseptic is a crucial part of the training. Participants learn to create effective antiseptic solutions using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and other disinfecting agents.

By equipping individuals with practical skills and knowledge, and driving economic growth.
