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.

Soap Aid Australia – saving lives by re-using waste soap
“Well over half of the 9000 children that are estimated to die from disease every day in our poorest countries could be saved by the routine use of hand washing with soap,” says professor Martyn Jeggo, director of health programs from Soap Aid.
Every day, thousands of hotels across the globe, discard millions of pieces of soap. In an Australian first, Soap Aid, a not-for-profit organisation, is collecting the pieces of waste soap from hotels and converting it into a potentially lifesaving program. Soap Aid literally takes soap used once or twice by guests from hotels and ensures it is recycled into a hygiene improvement program focused on washing hands.
