In Sierra Leone, there is only one ventilator available for a population of eight million people. In 10 other African countries, there isn’t a single ventilator. Prevention has become the only available solution for much of the developing world and simple hand washing can reduce the risk of contracting the disease by 92% according to the NIH. The problem is that in many areas of the developing world, only 1% of households have access to soap.

Here’s what we’re doing: empower women to rescue and recycle leftover soap and provide it to those at highest risk of contracting COVID-19 in dense communities where social distancing is nearly impossible—such as urban areas and refugee settlements. Since January 2020, we’ve:

• Provided over 1.5 million bars of soap to 13 countries in Africa and Asia
• Provided soap to every single healthcare institution in Cambodia
• Provided soap to the world’s largest refugee camps in Bangladesh and Afghanistan
• Provided over 500,000 bars of soap to African countries with one or no ventilators
• Employing 154 women full-time to recycle soap

Our goal is to raise $100,000, which would recycle and distribute an additional 1.75 million bars of soap to healthcare workers worldwide and families . With your help, we can save thousands of lives with the simple power of handwashing.

EVERY DONATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE AND IS MATCHED DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR

------------------------------------------------

$250 keeps our presses turning for a whole week to provide 500 bars of soap for a small village.

$500 gives a new soap press to an Eco-Soap Bank hub so we can hire more women.

$1,500 supplies 7,500 kids with lifesaving soap.

$2,500 sponsors a year's salary for one soapmaker to make thousands of bars

$8,800 sponsors an entire Eco-Soap Bank branch and supplies 44,000 children with lifesaving soap.

Thank you!
