The Global Soap Project will send more than 10,000 bars of discarded and processed soap to South Sudan.
The organization, which collects and processes donated soap from several sources including hotels, will transport the soap from the nonprofit's warehouse in Norcross. Organizations helping the soap along its way include ModerNash and Helping Hands International.
The soap will provide hygiene for 2,500 families for one month. South Sudan became an independent nation in July.
Health officials say hand washing is probably the most cost effective way to reduce diarrheal and respiratory diseases.
