Eczacıbaşı Hygiene Project

Eczacıbaşı Group runs the Eczacıbaşı Hygiene Project with the aim of improving the physical conditions of Regional Boarding Schools (RBSs). Eczacıbaşı Building Products Group is among the founding members of the project, which was initially started in 2007 in collaboration with the Association for Supporting Contemporary Living. Within the scope of the project, which is supported by group organisations, sanitary facilities (showers and toilets) within the RBSs’ dormitory and classroom areas are being renovated with VitrA and Artema products following the Ministry of Education’s general infrastructure works. The students are also provided with personal hygiene and toilet training by Selpak, which is an Ipek Kağıt brand. In addition, Eczacıbaşı Volunteers, which is comprised of community workers, design social projects aimed at enriching the emotional worlds of students. Crowned by international awards, the Eczacıbaşı Hygiene Project brings health, hygiene, and hope to the lives of hundreds of RBS students.
