That's a noble idea, providing work for the jobless. I don't know where you could get glycerine in your city, but here in my country, we have suppliers of both crude and refined glycerine. This is also used as an ingredient in making soap. Most manufacturers however sell by volume (in metric tons) but there are a few who sell them in bottles. You could try searching online or inquire with a government office there that deals with small-scale business, if there is one.

In the past I would have bought glycerine from a retail chemist, but that's not going to provide anywhere near enough. You would probably have to buy from a chemical supplier, and you might need a license in order to buy one of the components of a dangerous explosive compound.

You could contact your local government and or LSM. If they get interested, you might get fund from them.
