About Global Soap Project
Global Soap Project works to improve global health in a measurable and sustainable way, one bar of soap at a time. Their partner, Clean The World, receives partially-used and discarded soap from hotels, recycles it into millions of new bars, and then Global Soap strategically distributes the new soap to people who lack access to it around the world.
