Recycled hotel soaps for the needy

For some time now, we've been keen to increase our impact, to meet the need for access to hygiene that extends, unfortunately, far beyond our French borders...
To give you an idea:
🇫🇷 In France, 3 million people have no access to basic hygiene products.
🌍 Worldwide, an estimated 2.3 billion people lack the infrastructure to wash their hands with soap and water.
➡️ With this in mind, UNISOAP is launching its first branch abroad: UNISOAP UAE, in the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪
In this country, where tourism infrastructure is on a massive scale, the resources that could be provided by hotels are up to the task! 🧼
To remain in a responsible and reasoned logic, the project is supported locally by a local player: the social enterprise Goumbook, with whom we've been working for several months now 🤝 With this in mind, the entire process is being implemented locally: collection, recycling and distribution 😉
Further proof that, when we join forces, we can act on a grand scale! 

Together, we can have even more impact for People and for the Planet 🚀 🍃 

In October, UNISOAP launched its ambassador community, to great fanfare!
When the APICIL Group, one of our long-standing partners, offered us one of their advertising spaces on France TV replays, we saw a great opportunity to highlight our actions on a large scale 📽
No need for long speeches, just watch this video to understand UNISOAP's ecological, social and solidarity-based project!

Partner, donor and now ambassador: everyone can act at their own level to 

And help us to:

📣 Captains and future captains, you too can support us and join our community of ambassadors!
Together, we can have even more impact 🤝

"I'm going to take a shower!" 🚿

You have to get out in the field to really understand how commonplace this phrase is for those without access to hygiene.

 

The UNISOAP team spent an afternoon following the Vroom Shower. This is the camper van that Béchir Dridi has transformed into a mobile shower, and which provides over 300 showers a month for homeless people in Lyon.

 

Beyond simple showers, the Vroom Shower offers a convivial moment with beneficiaries. By creating a bond with them, Béchir gives them back access to hygiene, health, but also and above all, self-esteem.

We are proud to contribute to the actions of our partner associations and to have seen first-hand the positive impact of the hygiene products we distribute (UNISOAP recycled soaps and hygiene kits).

Together, we can go even further 🌍 🧼

At UNISOAP, we're committed to transforming waste from the hospitality sector into resources for the underprivileged.
Beyond recycled soaps, we're now makinghygiene kits to cover ever more needs. The kits are thus made up of a UNISOAP soap and products collected from cosmetics brands and manufacturers (if you know of a brand that knows... that would like to donate products 😉).
For their manufacture, it's quite natural that we chose to work with a second ALGED structure: ESAT Robert Lafon.
Through their sewing workshop, we're carrying out one more ecological action and a great partnership! 🍃
We explain:

➡️ The pouch you see in the photo comes from the recycling of sheets and comforter covers from Blanchisserie Morellon, a major player in linen rental and care since 1890.
They discard 1 cart of linen per week (clean linen damaged, with holes, torn, etc..., from hotels and healthcare facilities).

We recover and recycle this linen to make pouches that house hygiene kits, destined for our partner charities. 🤝

All this wouldn't be possible without your support!

Together, we can have even more impact 🌍
