«Being an Ambassador for SapoCycle is a privilege.
Having an idea is one thing, but turning it into not only a social but also a global environmental project was and still is amazing—thank you, Dorothée.
Seeing the joy on people’s faces while producing new soaps at WohnWerk warms my heart, and listening to their passion makes me smile every time.
Holding a SapoCycle soap in your hands makes you realize that small steps can lead to something big—helping people in need while also taking responsibility for the environment. »

«Avoiding waste, creating stable jobs for people with disabilities, and providing recycled soaps to those who lack access to hygiene products.
A simple but powerful solution to prevent infections and save lives.
It is an honor—and a truly moving experience—to support SapoCycle’s impact and witness its positive and inspiring effects growing year after year in fragile societal contexts. »
