New Delhi, Oct 15 (UNI) To mark Global Handwashing Day, Hilton announced the expansion of its soap-recycling program, totaling 5,300 properties in more than 70 countries and territories around the globe.
October 15 is Global Handwashing Day, a global advocacy day dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives.
Hilton’s decade-long soap recycling programme, which is already the largest in the hospitality industry, helps fight the hygiene epidemic plaguing underserved communities where tens of thousands of children die needlessly due to lack of access to basic sanitation.
