OUR IMPACT

Soap in Schools Program

Through our work to provide ongoing hygiene education to vulnerable communities in the United States, Clean the World Foundation had the pleasure of inviting upcoming medical students to shadow our program in November 2017. Through their work with Clean the World Foundation, students of the International Medical Outreach (IMO) have seen the important role that hand hygiene plays in overall health, and have been working with us to develop their own curriculum and hygiene education plan for their community in Haiti.


Our Soap in Schools program at Eccleston Elementary has successfully provided ongoing hygiene education for two years. The students at Eccleston Elementary love Clean the World Foundation, so much so, that a few of the students plan on working here when they grow up to “be in charge of hand washing.” As seen in the images, these students teach their own families and peers how to properly wash hands and the importance of doing so. Soap in Schools is the perfect opportunity to see our mission in action.

Supporting Refugees

Through our ongoing strategic partnership with Helping Hands for Relief and Development (HHRD), Clean the World Foundation has successfully distributed 80 pallets of soap to families affected by the refugee crises.

Through this great collaboration with Helping Hand for Relief and Development, Clean the World Foundation was able to provide Syrian, Palestinian, and Lebanese refugees with much needed hygiene supplies. Arriving in-country on April 2017, Clean the World

Foundation supported over 2,087 families where each family received approximately 50 bars of soap.

  • Syrian Refugees: 1,902 families
  • Palestinian Refugees: 130 families
  • Lebanese: 55 families

The location of the distribution took place throughout Beirut, Wadi El Zeini (Mount Lebanon), Baddawi (North Lebanon), Jdeita, Al Qaraoun and Jeb Jenien (Bekaa).

Supporting Indigenous Communities

Through our strategic partnership with Floating Doctors, Clean the World Foundation has provided necessary hygiene supplies to an ongoing program in Panama. Through this partnership, Clean the World Foundation and Floating Doctors support the Ngobe-Bugle indigenous people who live in a small rural village dispersed across more than 10,000 square miles of jungle-covered mountains and mangrove mazes in Western Panama. The communities treated through this program have little access to healthcare, healthcare education, and clean water. They rarely have electricity or sanitation facilities.

Providing clinical and educational support to the communities, this program treated patients for a conjunctivitis epidemic, which spread throughout the region of Panama in 2017. Presenting the patients with soap and hygiene education, the spread of the disease successfully came to a halt in several communities. Additionally, through consistent hand washing education and soap distribution, the program has seen a decrease of diarrheal disease in elderly patients, and has also recorded is a decrease in impetigo, skin infections, and fungal infections.

Number of people served through this program so far:

  • Women: 2000
  • Men: 1800
  • Infants: 0-2 years
  • 3-11 years: 2,750
  • 12-18 years: 1,500

Story of Success

“A few weeks ago, a 10 year old girl came to our site with a large dog bite on her leg. Often times these types of wounds are open. Because the risk of infection from dirty dog teeth is so high, especially with the humid environment in Panama. We decided to dress the wound, in an effort to reduce the risk of infection because of environmental effects. We gave the patient gauze and several bars of soap, instructing her to wash the wound. She came back two weeks later with a completely healed wound and no signs of infection”
