This year, Tanzania got a well representation of;
Domitila Silayo
Moshi, Tanzania
Female, 21
Industry: Consumer Products
Project Title: Jatropha Soap Production
Domitila Silayo is a
University student from Moshi, Tanzania where she is
working to empower her community and communities around
her. After visiting an agricultural festival, Domitila saw
a great potential in the jatropha plant for cosmetic and
medicinal uses. Then, she began to research how to produce
a soap made from the jatropha plant that could heal a
variety of skin problems including ringworm and dandruff.
Jatropha Soap Production has gone on to help thousands of
people in Tanzania fight off skin problems, while still
turning a healthy profit for Domitila and her team.
Furthermore, her venture is impactful to a handful of
employees who find solace and a healthy paycheck as a
result of Domitila’s project. Jatropha Soap is just the
first of many helpful products Domitila hopes to bring to
consumers to make their lives just a bit better each and
every day.
