Derreck Kayongo, a humanitarian relief expert, whose family fled Uganda during the tyranny of Idi Amin in 1979, explains why he founded the Global Soap Project and how it saves and improves lives one bar of soap at a time.
The Global Soap Project
The Global Soap Project recovers and recycles soap from American hotels and facilitates a process by which it is sanitized, melted and remolded into new bars, then distributed to refugee camps in Africa.
There is an almost infinite supply of available hospitality industry soap with 4.6-million hotel rooms in the United States; an estimated 2.6-million soap bars are discarded every day. Repurposing this waste can greatly improve the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, one bar of soap at a time.
We are currently in the middle of our pilot program and have collected over 14,000 pounds of soap from hotels throughout the southeastern United States. Please check back frequently, subscribe to our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter to keep up with our progress!
