Project Description
After seeing the material success of the Markala women's soap making collective (ABEF), Regional Director Yacouba Sangare organized a second soap making collective with the women of Dissan. The collective elected officers and established a plan to produce soap for home use and for selling in local markets. With African Sky funds, Yacouba Sangare purchased soap making materials, and soon after, the women of Dissan were selling soap. As of July 2008, The Dissan women have produced two batches of soap; they financed the second production using profits from sales of the first batch. A limited number of Dissan gift soaps will be available at future African Sky events.
