Clean the World was founded in 2009 to help mitigate diarrheal diseases and pneumonia in children by recycling and distributing discarded hygiene supplies from the hospitality industry. Aiming to reduce the number of hygiene-related deaths, the social enterprise began recycling soap into new bars to distribute to communities in need. In 2015, Clean the World joined forces with the Global Soap Project, resulting in a consolidated nonprofit mission under the banner of Clean the World Foundation (CTWF). This consolidation allowed us to go beyond hygiene to include programs addressing sustainable access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. Since CTWF was formed, we have helped over 15 million people and have distributed recycled soap to 127 countries around the world.
