Description: Lifebuoy’s mission for over 100 years has been to help prevent infections, by ‘making cleanliness commonplace’ and actively championing hygiene.

With its purpose stepped in prevention of infections, Lifebuoy decided to actively lead the charge and champion the cause with Gift of the Ganga. A unique gameplay where players could collect virtual plastic from the iconic river Ganga, that was created in Minecraft.

The game was meticulously designed in 5 levels, with players needing to collect plastic waste from the virtual river. As the levels progressed, players could earn cool tools to help them in their tasks. As the players proceeded to clean the virtual Ganga, they could also receive rewards – the water got visibly cleaner and new fauna were reborn in the virtual river, reinforcing the message of marine conservation.

This activity was kicked off on 21st April 2023 on the eve of World Earth Day.

India's top gamers and their fandoms came together for the experience.
While the activity was India-based, we had players from 14 countries participating in the game to maximize impact.

Lifebuoy would match the plastic collected in-game to on-ground collection that was upcycled to create handwashing stations for underserved schools in the region.
