AboutEco-Soap Bank was founded by social entrepreneur Samir Lakhani in 2014.[6] While on a volunteer trip to Cambodia building fish ponds in remote villages, Lakhani saw a woman bathing her infant in laundry detergent, a hazardous substitute for soap.[5] After learning more about hygiene issues in the developing world, he contacted scientist friends and developed a technique to melt down, sterilize, and reprocess recycled soap bars into new composite bars of “eco-soap.”[5] Eco-Soap Bank now employs 30 staff in several locations across Cambodia.[5] The organization is working to expand its reach to other developing countries with high mortality rates associated with hygiene-related illnesses.[4] MissionEco-Soap Bank’s stated mission is to fight the spread of preventable illnesses caused by a lack of access to soap, to reduce the waste generated by the hotel industry, and to provide livelihoods to economically disadvantaged women.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://observers.france24.com/en/20161104-cambodia-children-sanitation-soap-illness-ngo|title=Recycled soap helps kids fight poor hygiene in rural Cambodia|author=|date=4 November 2016|work=France 24|publisher=|accessdate=28 April 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://wesa.fm/post/essential-pittsburgh-mayor-peduto-welcomes-educational-summit-and-bike-share-system#stream/0|title=Essential Pittsburgh: Mayor Peduto Welcomes Educational Summit and Bike Share System|author=|date=15 April 2015|work=WESA FM|publisher=|accessdate=28 April 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/local/2015/04/12/Saving-cambodian-lives-with-slivers-of-hotel-soap/stories/201504050068?pgpageversion=pgevoke|title=Saving Cambodian lives with slivers of hotel soap|author=Don Hopey|date=12 April 2015|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|publisher=|accessdate=28 April 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2371839/eco-soap-bank-samir-lakhani/|title=Meet the 23-year-old Who's Saving Lives with Bars of Used Hotel Soap|author=Kristina Marusic|date=10 November 2015|work=MTV News|publisher=|accessdate=28 April 2017}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-37775173|title=The American student who gave Cambodian children a chance to get clean|author=Finn Aberdein|date=2 November 2016|work=BBC News Magazine|publisher=|accessdate=28 April 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04d9xhx|title=Saving lives with recycled soap|author=|date=27 October 2016|work=BBC World Service|publisher=|accessdate=28 April 2017}} External links
