Soap making by Kangemi Gichagi group. The group is made up of 15 members who are involved in powder and bar soap making, which they sell within the community to support income of the user group members.

Groups in rural Kikuyu area such as Gitaru Wendani carry out group enterprises such as raising of pigs, dairy goats and chickens to support MIPs, their carers and their families.
