The 17-member group, which received soap-making equipment from Governor Francis Kimemia in Financial Year 2020/2021, excelled in the detergent industry at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has since purchased a machine to manufacture bar soap, vastly enhancing its revenue base.
Its members, who harbor ambitions to become a Small Medium Enterprise, are now training other youth on soap making.
Governor Kimemia’s youth empowerment initiative has lifted several households across Nyandarua out of dehumanizing poverty.
