Soap Aid

Founded in 2012, Soap Aid is a charity based in Moorabbin, Australia working on health, environment & climate.

Soap Aid is a not-for-profit organisation that recycles waste soap collected from accommodation providers, companies and volunteers and redistributes it to communities in need in Australia, New Zealand and overseas. Founded in 2012 in response to large volumes of discarded soap going to landfill, it aims to reduce preventable disease, particularly childhood hygiene-related deaths, and to deliver environmental benefits. The organisation also supports hygiene education with local partners and runs initiatives in Australian Indigenous communities. It is an ATO-endorsed DGR Type 1 and Tax Concession Charity, governed by a board of volunteers. Its work is supported through Accommodation, Corporate, Community Impact and Volunteer Champion partnerships.
