Clean the World Foundation Information

Clean the World was founded in 2009 to address global health issues by using discarded hygiene supplies from the hospitality industry. Aiming to reduce the number of hygiene-related deaths, it 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. The consolidation allowed us to go beyond just hygiene to include programs addressing sustainable access to water, sanitation, and feminine hygiene as well. Clean the World Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization and is not an affiliate or subsidiary of any other entity. We have a close partnership with Clean the World Ventures, which is a certified benefit corporation (B-Corp), but we are a separate organization and independently operated with our own staff and board of directors.
