For Christmas this year, we would like to give back and make some real-world impact. We have partnered with HeySprouts under their Soap for Hope programme where they upcycle soap for distribution to marginalized communities.

The social impact of Soap for Hope:

1. Employment and Community: Be able to hire more youths with special needs to work on this programme in collaboration with various partners and community involvement for these special needs youths to create positive engagement experiences; and

2. Environment: Redirect solid soap waste from landfills. HeySprouts transforms solid soap waste into usable bars of soap for marginalised communities. This process is made possible through 12 youths employed directly by HeySprouts, alongside other youths participating in soap-making workshops and events.

100% of the funds raised by ARC will go towards the youths’ salaries and expenses for the production of 5000 bars of soap for distribution.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Let’s come together and contribute towards a common cause as a collective!
