The Clean the World Hygiene Kit Program is a mobile team building and community engagement activity that can be sent to any hotel, company event or conference in North America. It allows meeting professionals & event planners to eliminate the logistics of taking small or large groups out of their hotels and events to serve the local community. Clean the World provides all of the materials so that attendees can build hygiene kits and donate them to a local mission that needs them. Standard, hygiene kits contain soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, washcloth, and an inspirational card. Clean the World offers children’s kits, too, and is launching a veterans kit. Clean the World also provides a Best Practices Guide, instruction cards for each station, and a dedicated hygiene kit manager to assist with logistics such as shipping, charity matching and more. Over 1.1 million hygiene kits have been built and distributed in the United States – Clean the World welcomes your group’s assistance to get these valuable products into the hands of people who need them.
