Nouvelle Soft toilet roll, has partnered with international children’s charity SOS Children to lend a helping hand to one of their Children’s Villages. Most of us take it for granted that our schools have proper toilets and sanitation, but many Zambian children don't have that luxury.
SOS Children are currently building a new Children's Village in Chipata, eastern Zambia, where poverty and disease have left thousands of children completely alone without parental care. The new Village will provide a safe home for vulnerable children, as well as a school and medical centre for the community
Sales of Nouvelle Soft toilet roll are funding the construction and maintenance of a much needed toilet and sanitation block for the school, which will drastically improve hygiene and comfort for generations of pupils to come. Access to clean water and adequate sanitation are critical in tackling factors related to child mortality and survival, with an estimated 4.8 million Zambians living without access to clean water and 6.6 million lack access to sanitation.

If you’re not aware of SOS Children, here’s a bit of background information on what they do.
Since 1949 SOS Children has been working to ensure that children who have lost their parents through conflict, famine, natural disaster, disease and poverty - can enjoy a family life. Where possible, this is done by working to prevent family break up, but in addition over 78,000 orphaned or abandoned children are cared for by SOS mothers in clusters of family homes in 518 of our unique Children's Villages, in 125 countries around the world. SOS Children's outreach support includes education, vocational training, medical care and community development programmes.
Everyone has to buy toilet roll so it's great that you can do your bit to help by switching brands to Nouvelle. Georgia-Pacific is proud to be donating €180,000 to SOS Children’s Villages in connection with sales of Nouvelle and other European brands, and if they exceed 3.1M pack sales in the UK during the promotion period they will donate an extra €10,000 to the charity.
