Unilever
Helping people to improve their health and hygiene
Unilever has committed to improving the health and well-being of one billion people by 2020 under their Sustainable Living Plan.
In Ghana we are working with the brand Lifebuoy to change the hygiene practices of children in schools through promoting the benefits of handwashing with soap at key times. The campaign reached over two and half million school children.
We are also working with Unilever and DFID in Bangladesh under the TRANSFORM programme to leverage Unilever’s expertise to test innovative marketing and sales strategies to increase demand for SWEEP services, especially to low-income households, on a cost-efficient basis.
