Handwashing campaigns are public health initiatives aimed at promoting the practice of washing hands with soap and water. These campaigns educate people about the importance of hand hygiene in preventing the spread of diseases, especially in communities with limited access to clean water. They often target schools, healthcare facilities, and public places to reach a wide audience. These campaigns typically include demonstrations, distribution of educational materials, and sometimes the provision of handwashing stations. Organizations like the World Health Organization and UNICEF often support these efforts, emphasizing that proper handwashing can significantly reduce the transmission of illnesses such as COVID-19 and diarrheal diseases.
