Synopsis

Andrew and Abi Vrbas are cofounders of Pacha Soap Co., a social business that creates delightful bath goods that do good. Together, their company and its customers are putting the solution in the hands of those most affected by WASH (water, sanitation, hygiene) issues and the cycle of poverty. Give-away bar soaps are made in the very communities that they help, using local ingredients and local talent.

Andrew is CEO and passionately drives the mission and vision of the company. Abi is Pacha's former head designer and marketing/brand manager.
