IMPACT HERO 2022

Samir Lakhani

Founder: Eco-Soap Bank

In a rural Cambodian village, Samir was shocked to see a mother bathe her baby with laundry detergent.

The world disposes of up to 250 million pieces of soap every year. Yet in developing countries like Cambodia, a shortage of basic hygiene products, like bar soap, is the primary cause of infant mortality rates due to preventable diseases like diarrhea.

Learning of this issue, Samir founded Eco-Soap Bank to save lives by enhancing hygiene, protecting the environment from soap waste pollution, and improving the local economy.
