Soap Saves Lives Box:
Packing School Kits, Delivering Hope.

Did you know that 1 in 7 children in the United States are living in poverty? 

In 2021, it is estimated that 12.5 million children are living in poverty. Children living in poverty experience its impacts daily: hunger, illness, insecurity, and instability. Because of this, they are more likely to experience low academic achievement, obesity, behavioral problems, and social and emotional difficulties. This is the unfortunate reality for millions of children experiencing poverty and homelessness every day. 

To serve those in need, Amazon has teamed up with Clean the World to deliver 12,500 school backpacks packed with essential items, including (our favorite), soap! Once assembled, these school kits will be donated to charity organizations across the United States and distributed to children in need.  

By ordering your Soap Saves Lives Box and assembling school kits, you are directly impacting the life of a child and supporting them with the school supplies that will help them be successful. 

Thank you for your support!

Plan Ahead

  3. Get the little helpers involved – They can color the box, decorate notecards, or write messages to school backpack recipients!
  4. Gather supplies – Check out the list below.  
  5. Charge your phone – This will be an experience you will want to share with your family and friends!

  4. Next, take out each of the small boxes and line up everything on your table or counter.

After your build

Now that your school kits are built and ready to go, it is time to send them to the charity!

When it is time to distribute to your charity, Clean the World will email you a prepaid shipping label.

  • Attach this shipping label to the outside of your SOAP SAVES LIVES BOX. If you do not have a printer, you can request a label at any UPS store or location or ask a UPS representative to bring one to you. Simply provide the tracking number provided by Clean the World to UPS. 
  • Bring your SOAP SAVES LIVES BOX full of assembled school kits to any UPS store or location for delivery or schedule a pickup. There may be a small charge for labels and pickups from your home. Please check ups.com for more details. 

We have partnered with charities across the United States to distribute these school kits to the individuals and families in need. Contact impact@cleantheworld.org for questions.
