Hygiene Project for Primary Boarding Schools is a project that aims to secure healthy environments for children at Primary Boarding Schools.
Spearheaded by three brands, VitrA, Artema and Selpak, this social responsibility project is renovating the bathrooms and showers of Regional Primary Boarding School dormitories and school buildings with VitrA and Artema products. Within the Eczacıbaşı Group, companies and employees that are contributing to the success of the project include Eczacıbaşı Building Products, İpek Kağıt Tissue Paper, Eczacıbaşı Girişim Marketing, and Eczacıbaşı Volunteers. Partnering the project is the Ministry of Education, which is determining the neediest schools and ensuring they have the required plumbing infrastructure.
In the cooperation protocol that the Eczacıbaşı Group signed with the Turkish Ministry of Education in January 2010, 30 Regional Primary Boarding Schools will benefit from the project.
Selpak is organizing personal hygiene classes at primary schools all around Turkey. To date, 6 million students at 8002 primary schools in 60 cities have benefited from this program since 2002.
