Hand washing prevents pneumonia and diarrhoea
Simple hand washing with soap prevents two of the biggest threats to children — diarrhoea and pneumonia.
Wash hands at these times
- Before eating or preparing food.
- After using the toilet or changing a nappy.
- After play, and after coming home.
Scrub all surfaces for 20 seconds — palms, backs, between fingers and under nails — then rinse. Teaching this one habit early protects your child for life.
