Global Handwashing Day – Our Future is at Hand
Every year on October 15th we celebrate Global Handwashing Day.
Last year we learned just how important handwashing is in fighting against infectious diseases!
The benefits of washing our hands regularly with soap and water can reap rewards when practiced consistently.
Here are some of the most important times to wash your hands:
  • After using the toilet
  • Before contact with food
  • After blowing your nose, coughing, and sneezing.
  • After animal contact
  • After handling any rubbish (bins)
Although it is critical to have access to soap and water and a place to wash your hands, it is also important to promote behavior change within society.
If it becomes the social norm to regularly wash our hands it would motivate people to continue to do this regularly.
As we enter a new normal beyond Covid 19, lets do our best to carry out hand washing regularly and protect those around us.
Our Future is at hand – Lets move forward together!!
