0g0b3715Health 2 Humanity, founded in Chapman student John Cefalu’s dorm room in 2014, is a global movement towards creating sustainable impact utilizing the tools available to every average individual- their own two hands. H2H has paralleled it’s corporate mission of creating high quality soap bars domestically in the U.S. with it’s global mission of building entrepreneurship programs focused around hygienic empowerment.

Over the past three years, H2H Corp has developed a 4 scent soap bar line, sold through retail partnerships and online outlets, emerging as a leading soap producer in the saturated market of chemical rich products overwhelming consumers today. H2H Global has reached some major milestones as well, starting up 13 micro-businesses throughout Kenya, Ghana, and Uganda, creating 35 jobs and distributing over 65,000 bars of soap into these communities. Statistics also show a 25 percent reduction in illness rates overall and a near 100 percent eradication of skin irritations in sponsored locations.
