We believe that everyone deserves basic hygiene and the opportunity to lead a dignified life. What started with recycling used soap to combat disease has grown into a mission to empower women entrepreneurs and provide critical emergency aid during crises. Through all of our programs, we’re supporting women and building healthier, more resilient communities where people can thrive.

Even after work, we enjoy showing our neighbors Sundara soap and explaining how we recycle it. We keep extra bars at home to share with friends—they wish they could work at Sundara too!
We are getting Sundara aprons this month to wear and we will march around our neighborhood with them on to show people who we are and what we do. Every day we work here we feel so proud.
