Clean hands save lives! Proper handwashing is one of the simplest, most effective, and affordable ways to prevent the spread of germs, protect our families, and keep our communities healthy.
🧼 HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS PROPERLY

⏱️ 3. SCRUB: Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds to help remove germs.
🚿 4. RINSE: Rinse thoroughly under clean, running water.
❤️ WHY DOES HANDWASHING MATTER?
Proper handwashing with soap can help prevent approximately 1 in 3 diarrhoea-related illnesses and 1 in 5 respiratory infections, including colds.
This Global Handwashing Day, let's make handwashing a daily habit and work together to build a healthier, safer community.
Clean Hands, Healthier Lives! 💚
