Clean the World was founded three years ago with a simple mission: To recycle soap and save lives. And our mission is as simple and essential today as it was in the beginning.

More than 9,000 children die each day from hygiene-related illnesses around the world. That's 3.5 million lives lost per year. According to medical research studies by UNICEF and the World Health Organization, more than 60 percent of these deaths can be prevented by regular hand washing with bar soap. It's a challenge worth accepting to save these lives while there is still time, and with the hygiene resources we have in abundance. Clean the World was founded to meet that challenge and stop this needless loss of life.
And it all starts with a simple bar of soap...

Think about the hospitality industry for a moment. Hotels and resorts in the United States alone throw away more than one million bars of soap each day. By throwing away the soap, we add to our growing global concern for excessive landfill waste. Clean the World's solution is simple. Rather than throw away these guest room amenities – and add to our planet's growing sanitation problems – Clean the World recycles these soaps and places them in the hands of children to help stop the spread of fatal diseases, such as acute respiratory infection (pneumonia) and diarrheal diseases (cholera, dysentery). In just three years we have helped divert more than 1.4 million pounds of hotel waste from local landfills. And we couldn't do it without the passion and support of our growing number of hospitality partners, meeting professionals and corporate sponsors.

The secret to our rapid success is the embrace of our mission by the hospitality industry. In just three, short years Clean the World has acquired 1,300 hospitality partners throughout North America. We are represented in all 50 United States and the District of Columbia, 10 Canadian provinces, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. And the hotels and resorts in these regions are doing their part to provide us with the hygiene materials necessary to save lives with soap.
Clean the World recently passed a significant milestone – 10 million soap bars distributed in the United States, Canada, and nearly 50 countries. Just recently, Clean the World distributed soaps and bottled amenities to children and families in Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, and in numerous communities throughout the United States, including Las Vegas. Because soap saves lives.

We practice what we preach. The contributions of our hospitality partners, meeting planner program participants, and soap drive supporters are not sitting in a warehouse gathering dust. They're not on display only for tours and photo opportunities. The soaps and bottled amenities collected by Clean the World are being recycled, given new life and placed into the hands of children and families within 60 days in order to save lives. You can count on that – 10 million times.

Thank you for joining our global hygiene revolution to save lives with soap. And thanks for helping Clean the World.
