Global Handwashing Day

SIE

The World Handwashing Day will be celebrated on October 15. Much more than just a day, this event makes people aware of a simple gesture that can save lives.

This year’s theme focuses on the links between handwashing and food, including food hygiene and nutrition. Handwashing is an important element of food security, disease prevention and child growth. The slogan, “Clean hands: a recipe for good health,” reminds us to make handwashing an integral part of every meal.

To prepare an activity, consult the Planner’s Guide and the Facts sheet. We also encourage you to visit the Global Handwashing Partnership‘s ressource page or the Pedag-eau database.
