Pwani Oil, the manufacturers of Sawa soap, teamed up with the Ministry of Education and other private companies in a day-long educational extravaganza, as part of its ongoing campaign to promote healthy habits among young people.

We are happy to have played a role in educating young students about good hygiene practices that can make a real difference in their lives,” said Pwani Oil’s Commercial Director, Rajul Malde. “
