Novlok welfare society celebrated hand wash day with the community, VT learners, SHGs member and health champions. On 15th October, we celebrate it with VT learners. The project coordinator gave speech on hand wash day. Keeping hands clean through improved hand hygiene is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water. If clean, running water is not accessible, as is common in many parts of the world, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean hands. The most common diseases are malaria, dengue, jaundice, diarrhea and viral fever etc.
