Washing hands reduces the spread of illnesses and infections. Over 1.5 mn children under 5 die each year due to diarrhoea. Hand washing with soap before eating or preparing food and after using the toilet can reduce diarrohoea rates by over 40%. It can also reduce the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI’s) by around 23%. Advocating the significance of proper hand wash techniques can help save lives. Through the Habitat Young Leaders Build (HYLB) campaign, Habitat India is keen to create an environment of improved personal hygiene. One share by you can help someone lead a healthier life.
