Company Profile 2019 When I first got to know about Soap Cycling while in Hong Kong, I was intrigued by how lightly used soap can be “rescued” and given a new lease of life to benefit whole communities, especially children from developing countries, who have little or no access to this everyday item. Migrant workers are an integral part of the SCSG community; No doubt these are challenging times, but it has been they have also been one of our most active volunteers, heartening to see the outpouring of support from our taking the lead in several packing and distribution efforts. volunteers, and corporate and charity partners.

SCSG Annual Report 2019 Singapore Distributions: Keeping it Local With a commitment to distributing as much soap as possible to underprivileged communities in our home city, 2019 saw increased volumes donated to our charity partners. Part of Soap Cycling Singapore’s mission is to provide soap to communities who lack access to sanitation and hygiene resources or who struggle to find the means to afford it. Tai Seng Distribution: SGAHC Soap Cycling Singapore joined our charity partner, SG Accident Help Centre (SGcare) for the official opening of their third branch in Tai Seng industrial estate, which has about 5,000 migrant workers living at the dormitories in the vicinity. SCSG distributed about 400 soap bars to over 200 workers who showed up for a free health screening. \"It's remarkable how recycling soap helps build community. It's given Singaporeans and migrant workers a chance to strike up conversations and get to know one another. I can't begin to emphasise the crucial role that these soaps play in providing hygiene to the many migrant workers staying in the dormitories. This is testimony to how the humble soap bar has connected all of us, and how important up-cycling is for our society.\" Jevon Ng, director of SGcare Physiotherapy Clinic EHS Sungei Tengah Lodge: CDL In December, local distributions took place at the Sungei Tengah Lodge where 40 migrant workers who completed their English/computer classes conducted by volunteers of SGcare received a certificate and also got a hand-knitted mesh bag filled with soap bars from us. Packs of soap were also given out to more than 100 workers at the EHS (environment, health & safety) Challenge organised by City Developments Limited.

SCSG Annual Report 2019 Global Distributions: A Little Soap Goes a Long Way In 2019, SCSG distributed 435 kg to 17 charities and individuals in nine countries throughout the region. A simple bar of soap is one of the most effective ways to prevent diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea yet many communities in developing countries still lack access to this basic item. Soap Cycling is committed to partnering with hotels to divert this lifesaving resource from the landfill and put it in the hands of families and communities in need. Soap Bars to Batam Our first overseas shipment of soap reached the kids at Little Angel Bukit Timor in Batam in late July! The school is one of the five kindergartens run by Yayasan Dunia Viva Wanita, one of our regional charity partners that does fantastic work in reaching out to children from the slum areas. \"Soap is considered a luxury in the slum areas.

SCSG Annual Report 2019 Festive Cheer: Amex We conducted a soap scraping workshop for about 50 Amex staff in December, turning their office Christmas party into a meaningful event by setting aside two hours to reprocess some 60kg of gently used soap for the slum communities in Manila. We invited two migrant workers, Rob from Bangladesh and Yun Long from China to join us – both are seasoned volunteers with us and had plenty of tips to share on soap scraping with the participants! They guided the corporate volunteers on safe and proper soap scrap techniques. Through this simple soap activity, the Amex staff bonded and laughter filled the room against the backdrop of festive Christmas music. The more creative participants made Christmas cards and wrote wishes for the recipients. The soaps and cards were eventually handed out to children in the slums of metro Manila the next day. Says Natalie Lim, a senior manager: “We tend to take the little things in life for granted. The work that SCSG does is a great reminder of how we can collectively make small efforts to reduce waste and impact lives whilst providing a meaningful platform for corporate team bonding sessions. SCSG made the organising process seamless and hassle- free, and we look forward to having them back again soon! Looking at the pictures of the smiley children holding onto a bar of soap, I realise how meaningful our actions can be. Keep ‘cycling’!” Thank you, Amex, for making SCSG part of your festive celebrations! 0018
