Global Handwashing Day is celebrated on October 15th and was originally
recognized in 2008, when over 120 million children around the world washed their hands with soap in more than 70 countries.
Since then, community and national leaders have used Global Handwashing
Day to spread the word about handwashing, build sinks and tippy taps, and demonstrate the simplicity and value of clean hands. Global Handwashing Day has continued to grow. It’s endorsed by governments, schools, international institutions, civil society organizations,
NGOs, private companies, individuals, and others.
The 2023 theme for Global Handwashing Day is “Clean Hands are within
Reach”. On behalf of Healthmark, I just wanted to share the importance of continuously washing your hands and sharing the important message of Global Handwashing Day!
