Reckitt Honors India's Sanitation Workers with Commemorative Stamps
On World Toilet Day, Reckitt made special stamps to thank and honor India's sanitation workers.
These workers help keep our cities clean and healthy, but they often don't get the respect they deserve.
Reckitt wants to change that by showing how important their work is.
They also teach these workers new skills and safety practices through their Harpic World Toilet College.
