Give Life A Hand, Share your #Handfie and Support #IGiveA !

Found a very timely campaign from Lysol Philippines Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LysolPH)- promoting healthy handwashing habits and awareness of the real impact of diarrhea to children under 5 in developing countries. Hadwashing might seem too simple, a no-brainer you might think, but stats are in and they're indeed alarming.

"Every day, more than 2,000 kids around the world die from preventable illnesses like diarrhea.

Tragically, every minute a parent loses a child when simple handwashing with soap could break the chain of infection. That’s why we’re on a mission to give life a hand."- RB Company in partnership with Save the Children

RB Company the maker of popular home, health and hygiene products such as Lysol, Gaviscon, Strepsils, Clearasil, Veet, Dettol and a lot more, teams up with Save the Children (The Save the Children Fund), an international non-governmental organization that promotes children's rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries. Together, they're are focusing on diarrhea prevention and treatment in India, Nigeria and Pakistan. For the first time ever implement the World Health Organisation (WHO) & UNICEF seven-point plan for comprehensive diarrhea control in its entirety. By 2020, their ambition is to remove diarrhea as a top 5 leading cause of death amongst children.

Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. To promote this,  simply snap a photo of your clean hands and upload your #Handfie. Go to givelifeahand.com  to get started. For every handfie shared, they pledge to teach a child healthy handwashing habits. Let’s get everyone involved - mums, dads, brothers, sisters, friends and family. The more handfies you share, the more kids they'll educate.Here's mine with my munchkin:
