Update on Global Soap Project

Some exciting news from the Global Soap Project.  This summer we will be relocating our soap recycling factory to a new and much larger facility in Las Vegas!  The new factory will increase our production fourfold to 4 million bars of new soap per year, meaning we’ll remove 1 million pounds of used soap from landfills annually.  In addition, we’ll be able to recycle hotel amenity bottles at the new facility as well – diverting tons of tiny shampoo, conditioner, and lotion bottles from landfills.

Most importantly, this increase in production will allow us to serve hundreds of thousands more people each year.  Since hand washing with soap is the most effective and affordable way to fight the leading causes of death for children globally, this growth will make a big impact for those most at risk.  The people we serve in our three programs – Soap In Schools, Emergency Relief, and WASH Initiatives – will all be beneficiaries of our expanded reach.
