We are a non-profit organization (ONLUS D. Lgs. 460/97, art. 10) whose objective is to recover partially used soap from hotels and facilitate a process by which it is repurposed into new bars for distribution to refugee camps and other vulnerable populations in Africa and around the world. GSPE expands the efforts of the Global Soap Project (GSP) based in the United States to an ever more global scale by establishing a national chapter of the Project in Italy. From this strategic location, we plan to increase collaboration with hotel chains across Italy%96%97one day expanding to other countries of Europein order to bring the tools of better health and hygiene to those in need. Why soap? Consider the example of the United States: there are approximately 4.6 million hotel rooms from which over 2 million partially used bars of soap are discarded every day! The number one killer of children in Africa is unsanitary conditions, mostly due to bacterial growth which could easily be minimized with the use of soap. By availing soap, it is estimated that one can reduce unnecessary deaths by over 40%. In Italy there is immense potential for the hospitality industry to join the effort to save lives, at the same time diverting tons of discarded soap from landfills. The following are the 2013 expenditures to start the project in Europe: Wages (workers) %97%80 25.200,00 Salaries (Production manager) 14.400,00 Payroll Taxes %80%80 0,00 Website Support & Maintenance 0,00 Finance/Accounting %80%80 0,00 Travel & Lodging 0,00 Conferences & Meetings %80%80 0,00 Power & Gas 1.000,00 Phone & Internet %80%80 0,00 Plant Equipment 22.000,00 Plant/Soap Making Supplies %80%80 1.000,00 Office Supplies 500,00 Printing %80%80 0,00 Marketing 0,00 Fundraising %80%80 500,00 Shipping & Postage 500,00 Soap Collection (Fuel for pick-up) %80%80 500,00 Soap Testing 0,00 SUBTOTALS %80%80 65.600,00 Rent & Rental Fees 24.000,00 TOTALS %80%80 89.600,00
