As a child visiting Nairobi, I was fascinated by the city's tall buildings, cars, and people. Little did I know that this experience would shape my love for Imperial Leather soap, which I first encountered during my visit.
Fast forward to the present, Imperial Leather has partnered with the Rotary Club to launch the 'Caring For Kenya' initiative, a timely response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative aims to improve water and sanitation facilities in less privileged communities, reducing the spread of water-borne diseases.
Did you know that water and sanitation diseases are the leading cause of death for children under the age of five in Kenya? Approximately 9.4 million Kenyans drink from contaminated water sources. Imperial Leather's initiative is a step in the right direction, donating Sh10 for every soap bought, which will go towards improving water and sanitation facilities.
When you purchase Imperial Leather soap, look for the packaging indicating that the revenue will go towards this initiative. You can also support the cause by sharing a photo of your soap on social media using #CaringForKenya and inspiring others to join the movement.
As Mother Theresa once said, 'I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.' Your 10 bob matters, and together, we can make a difference.
The 'Caring For Kenya' initiative is set to kick off in Baba Dogo area in Nairobi before spreading to other low-income areas.
