This Burundian Launched a Soap Business in a Refugee Camp

Innocent Havyarimana lives in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. "I started with one type of soap. That was 2015 and then I was hiring one person. But currently I have employed 43 people, both refugee and the host community - 27 from refugee and the 16 from the host community. And I am making 16 types of soap, which I am selling to schools, to UN agencies, government agencies or teachers, churches and individuals."
