If you're anything like me, your soap bar in the shower eventually gets small enough that it's no longer doing the job. While it might seem odd at first, did you know that you can donate your 'soap scrap' - yes, those small, USED pieces of soap - to help kids and women around the world? (And yes, the soap is sanitized before it reaches them!)

Lack of access to soap remains a critical factor in fighting the spread of preventable diseases worldwide. In some areas of the developing world, only 1% of households have soap for handwashing.

You can donate new soap (and soap scrap) that produces two major impacts:

1️⃣ Children in the developing world receive soap + hygiene education, ultimately protecting them from disease
2️⃣ Disadvantaged women in the developing world are provided with a livelihood

👉 EcoSoap Bank has been collecting soap donations since 2014. They accept ALL types of soap (just not heavy lye soaps). All soap is sanitized by EcoSoap Bank.
