Dear people
Access to improved drinking water and sanitation facilities is not necessarily sufficient in itself to ensure better health. Evidence is now available about the importance of hygiene habits, especially hand washing with soap at critical times: after defecating and before eating or preparing food. Handwashing with soap can greatly reduce the incidence of diarrhea, which is the second leading cause of death among children under five. Recent studies also suggest that regular handwashing at these critical times can reduce diarrhea access by up to 50 percent.It has also been shown that the good habit of washing hands properly reduces the incidence of other diseases such as pneumonia, trachoma, scabies, eye and skin infections and diarrhea-related diseases such as cholera and dysentery. . Promoting handwashing with soap is also a key strategy in controlling the spread of bird flu.
