October 15th is Global Handwashing Day! This year, the Global Handwashing Day theme focuses on the links between handwashing and food – including food hygiene and nutrition. Handwashing is an important part of keeping food safe, preventing diseases, and helping children grow strong. Our tagline, clean hands – a recipe for health, reminds us to make handwashing a part of every meal.

Here are a few ways you can make a difference this Global Handwashing Day:

• Wash your hands with soap at critical times, especially before eating, cooking, or feeding others.

• Model good handwashing behavior, and remind or help others to always wash their hands before eating.

• Make handwashing part of your family meals.

• Establish places to wash your hands in the household, in your community, in schools, workplaces, and in health facilities.

• Promote effective handwashing behavior change in research, policy, programs, and advocacy.

Co-funded by UNICEF and HPP – Irish Aid, CWW is planning a festival that will take place on the 14th of October 2018 on the Global Hand-washing Day as per the below specifications and details
