In Rwanda, a group of people living with H.I.V./AIDS began making soap from local materials like palm oil and avocados. 在卢旺达,一群艾滋病人也开始利用一些本地材料,如棕榈油,鳄梨制作肥皂。
They developed a business with a loan from the aid organization Africare. 他们靠着从援助组织“关爱非洲”那里得到的贷款来发展这项业务。
Healthier members of the group meet four times a week to mix the soap and cut it into pieces. 健康状况较好的成员们每周四次聚集在一起,来混合肥皂液并将成品切成块。
An American organization called InterAction says the soap makers produce one thousand pieces each day. 据美国组织“ InterAction ”称,这些制作肥皂的人每天能生产 1000 块肥皂。
The soap is sold to the local health center, to a prison and to people in the community. 这些肥皂被卖给当地的医疗中心、监狱及社区居民。
