The cleaning products multinational Reckitt, owner of brands such as Veja and Vanish, launched an acceleration program for social impact businesses linked to access to water, sanitation and hygiene.
The businesses will have mentoring and R$300,000 to share at the end of the program to implement the strategies. Up to six candidates will be selected.
Projects should prioritize publics with poor access to water and sanitation, such as people in high social vulnerability, women, due to menstrual poverty, and people in remote or rural areas.
