Organize an event in your community or school to educate people about the importance of handwashing and how to do it properly. Invite local health experts or public health officials to speak at the event.

Proper handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of disease. Washing your hands regularly can reduce the risk of illnesses such as colds, flu, and foodborne illnesses, as well as potentially life-threatening diseases like E. coli and Salmonella.
Infectious diseases spread easily when proper hygiene habits are not practiced. Global Handwashing Day serves as a reminder to people all over the world about the importance of washing your hands regularly with soap and water in order to keep yourself and others healthy.
Global Handwashing Day has the power to bring together whole communities and encourage them to prioritize health through good hygiene practices. By setting aside this day each year, people are reminded that basic handwashing can save lives and create healthier communities around the world!
