Global Handwashing Day is an annual global advocacy day dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an easy, effective, and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives.
Celebrated annually on October 15, Global Handwashing Day was founded by the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing, and is an opportunity to design, test, and replicate creative ways to encourage people to wash their hands with soap at critical times.
Global Handwashing Day is designed to:
Foster and support a global and local culture of handwashing with soap
Shine a spotlight on the state of handwashing around the world
Raise awareness about the benefits of handwashing with soap
We the undersigned pledge to promote "handwashing" globally and support the Wash in Schools Program.
