Rabi Hinsa makes traditional soap by recycling liquid soap used by manufacture
workers and some pieces of standard soap. She is helped by two people and
her soap is sold at a reasonable price in the capital and in other regions of
the country and is very much appreciated by poor households.
Rabi Hinsa has 8 children who suffer from drepanocytosis (also known as
sickle-cell anaemia), a recessive genetic illness characterized by the alteration
of hemoglobin which transports the oxygen in the blood. Rabi Hinsa used to
run precarious businesses before starting her soap project. As part of the project
to help people who suffer from drepanocytosis to access microcredit, Rabi
Hinsa obtained her first microloan of 152 Euros that enabled her to purchase
a large amount of raw material, and she also benefited from training in income
generating activities management.
Thanks to her revenues, Hinsa Rabi was able to send her children to school
and buy an area of land in Niamey.
