if you are not in another employment you can also consider buying a wheelbarrow.. buy fresh fruits in gikomba early in the morning and hawk them around bus stop and busy places in the estate... this will pay off.. When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly.... When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend

Very encouraging responses coz the 'don't have enough capital myth' is being shattered right here. The type of bizna you start will also depend on your location/base of operation where you will have to consider consumer's purchasing power,tastes and preferences etc.If you plan to move around a lot to buy your raw/fresh materials(whichever the case may be) and then process and/or deliver to your target customers,then you need to factor in transportation costs as well. Things may come to those who wait,but only what’s left behind by those that hustle.

Great thinking,way to go..................whoever said that the only thing that starts from up is a hole was spot on!
@Fundaah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,why Fundaah? where I come from this denotes a beast of burden(anyway I never know) - crap for another day though.
Point is,you asked where the chemicals for soap making can be bought;several places down at good old Kirinyaga road stock these,a certain coy called Rumorth is one of them(contacts in the directory)
But the ladies you have in mind would have to know about the chemicals to buy and how to make the stuff;should there be need I know of a lady who can offer training at a very reasonable fee.
Everyone should be heard and respected!

@flipthecoin reasonable fee is very relative... be specific like how much..? When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly.... When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend

@flipthecoin This being a community site ...we share information pro bono....as payback to the society for the pain of educating us......can you try to 'steal' for us the process and chemicals required to make soap from that lady and post them here.....It could go a long way in uplifting the lives of some women some where....They may not be able to meet even that 'reasonable fees' for now.....Remember not many people read this site so your friend's 'secret' may not be found by many....

@Fundaah My cleaning lady is the one who makes the soap for sale,she buys the chemical from Kariobangi light industries(ati karibu na hapo kwa supa loaf..hehee!,please dont ask me where the heck that is..),tells me there're a couple of shops that sells it...but if you're seriously interested,she can direct you to the specific shop that she buys from at 400/= per 20ltr mixure plus the perfums et al. and that guy will give you directions on how to use the chemical,or you can invite the lady over and she can show you how to(you'll just cater for her busfare and a token for the lesson  ) Hope this helps...
