India's first soap recycling program

After spending time in Thailand, Sundara’s founder Erin met children who had never even seen or used soap. When she returned home to the United States, she learned that this was true of many other developing countries.

1,350 Indian children die of preventable, hygiene related disease each day. 70 milliion Indians have no access to soap or can’t afford it, according to the company.

Sundara employees underprivileged women in Mumbai to collect waste soap and create new bars, which are then distributed to children in some of India’s poorest slums.
