This World Toilet Day, Harpic has announced its collaboration with organizations and NGOs to kickstart their campaign “Harpic Mission Saaf (Clean) and Safe Pakistan”. Through this movement, Harpic aims to enable access to clean and hygienic toilets to the nation by equipping them with knowledge and enabling them with the right tools.
According to WaterAid, Pakistan is rated the 7th worst country in terms of access to basic sanitation where 79 million people lack access to clean toilets. The toilets that are available are not maintained properly and hence put the users at a high risk of contracting various diseases through continuous breeding of illness causing germs. To counter the issue at hand, Harpic has joined hands with the prestigious Infection Control Society of Pakistan (ICSP), comprising of a respected body of doctors formed to educate and work towards limiting the spread of diseases; The Citizen’s Foundation (TCF), the largest network of schools (1600+ Schools) educating children from humble backgrounds; Salman Sufi Foundation (SSF), a prominent social service organization working on providing public toilets for all and Metro Cash and Carry, leading international grocery chain who have also stepped forward to ensure hygienic environment for all.
Talking about this initiative, Akbar Ali Shah, Country Manager, RB Hygiene Home Pakistan Limited, makers of Harpic, said “This World Toilet Day we are embarking on a mission to ensure accessibility of clean and hygienic toilets as a right for every Pakistani.-PR
