The two day livelihood skills training was held in Nkawie (day 1) and Mankranso (day 2), bringing together 200 women and youth. The training focused on liquid soap and bar soap production, using a highly participatory and hands on approach.
Participants were actively involved in every stage of the production process measuring ingredients, mixing, testing consistency, adjusting colour and fragrance, molding, cutting, drying, and packaging. This practical method boosted confidence and ensured learning was experiential and easy to replicate.
The training covered liquid soap production and Azuma Blows (bar soap) making, with participants practicing complete formulations from start to finish. Emphasis was placed on quality control, correct mixing and safe handling to produce market ready products.
Participant Outcomes:
• All participants received samples of the final products.
• Participants demonstrated the ability to independently reproduce both soap types.
• Many women expressed interest in starting household level production.
• Cooperative leaders initiated discussions on group based soap businesses.
• Stronger networks were formed across participating communities.
The training highlighted strong opportunities for household based enterprises, cooperative production, and local market supply to schools, clinics, and retailers. By simplifying soap production and emphasizing its low startup costs, the programme strengthened pathways for women’s economic empowerment and local entrepreneurship.
