Global Handwashing Day is a global celebration of handwashing with soap involving over 200 million people in over 100 countries worldwide
In 2012, Global Handwashing Day will share its 5th anniversary with over 121 million children who are also celebrating their 5th birthday this year. Handwashing with soap can reduce the incidence of diarrhoea among children under five by almost 50 per cent, and respiratory infections by nearly 25 per cent. That’s why this year’s theme is “Help More Children Reach Their 5th Birthday”.
Logos, guidelines and information packs can be downloaded from the Global Handwashing Day website. There is a promotional Twitter/Facebook game called “World Wash Up”. The official Twitter hashtag for Global Handwashing Day is #iwashmyhands

Dear All,
On this day of 5th Anniversary of observing Global Handwashing Day, let us draw our action plan to sustain it.
Observing the 5th Anniversery will not be meaningful, unless we can make it a daily practice.
Thanks.
Regards.
