The Murrumbidgee Rotary Club is looking to partner with local Wagga hotels to collect opened soaps left by travellers. Rotary collects waste soap from these hotels and sends them to a Soap Aid (www.soapaid.org) central processing plant, where they re-process the discarded soaps and turn them back into new, useful bars of soap that will help save lives.
FACT: By the simple act of a child washing their hands with a bar of soap, we could potentially reduce the number of diarrhoea cases by over 40 per cent.
PP Jenny Lovekin is going to develop this project this year, contact Jenny at lovekinjenny13@gmail.com for more details.
