Global Handwashing Day is celebrated every year on October 15th to promote the importance of handwashing with soap to prevent diseases and save lives. This day serves as a reminder that handwashing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs and reduce the risk of infections. By washing our hands properly, we can protect ourselves and others from illnesses.

Proper handwashing involves using soap and water, rubbing hands together for at least 20 seconds, including the back of hands, between fingers, and under nails. Handwashing should be done before and after eating, preparing food, caring for someone who is sick, or treating a wound. It is a simple yet powerful action that can make a big difference in our health and wellbeing.

On Global Handwashing Day, individuals, schools, communities, and organizations around the world come together to promote hand hygiene and raise awareness about the benefits of washing hands regularly. Through campaigns, events, and educational activities, people are encouraged to make handwashing a habit in their daily routines. Let's join hands on Global Handwashing Day to spread the message of good hand hygiene and make a positive impact on public health.
