Mercure Hyderabad KCP joined hands with the Nireekshana; a community-based NGO for “SoapforHope” project. As a part of this program, the hotel donated 18Kgs of used soap to Nireekshana. The NGO will recycle and reprocess the solid soap waste into new soap bars and distribute among the local community.
