The Sapele project in Delta state was initiated to address the high rate of recidivism by providing inmates with tangible economic tools. Over a period of three intensive weeks, our team transformed a section of the Sapele Prison into a makeshift chemical laboratory.
Inmates were divided into specialized units. Group A focused on the base chemistry of liquid detergents, while Group B specialized in insecticide and air-freshener. The training didn't stop at production; we brought in business consultants to teach them about market pricing, cost-benefit analysis, and small-scale manufacturing management.
The result was the successful production of 500 liters of high-grade liquid soap, which was donated back to the prison, immediately improving the hygiene standards of the facility.
Subsequently, the training is still on-going and participants are empowered with start-up capital at their release from income generated from the sales of the product.
