Current Project - Soapful Hands

Soapful Hands is an Enactus UEA project which is tackling hygiene access in Norwich city. Our project wants to ensure that everyone in Norwich has access to running water and personal hygiene products everyday. We will be running soap making workshops in Norwich city and UEA campus where consumers will take home 30% of the soap they make, the remaining 60% will be donated/sold to fund our project. We are looking to make shower blocks available around the city and use the handmade soaps in those blocks alongside other essential hygiene products (shampoo, conditioners, toothpaste, toothbrushes). The products will be single use, stored within a hygiene box which is packaged by students/members of the public who attend the workshops
