<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247);"><font size="2" face="Verdana">This Saturday was Global Handwashing Day, calling attention to the millions of people who lack access to
basic hygiene and sanitation facilities. Simply washing one’s hands with soap and water is among the most cost-effective ways of preventing illnesses such as diarrhea and acute respiratory infections that kill 2.3 million children every year.</font></span></p>

<p style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 15pt; margin-left: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Washing
hands with soap at critical moments – such as after using the toilet or before handling food – is an easy and affordable intervention that can reduce the incidence of diarrhoea among children under five by almost 50 per cent, and cut respiratory infections
by as much as 25 per cent. </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Verdana">To mark the day around <span style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247);"> 200 million people and 700,000 schools in more than 70 countries</span><span style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247);"> participated
in awareness-raising activities promoting handwashing in their schools and communities.</span> Joining this global movement is the World Hygiene Programme, a new charity which focuses on fighting preventable disease by promoting hygiene.</font></p>
