Global Hand Washing Day: OPHARDT hygiene supports public schools and hospitals in the Philippines
Issum, October 13, 2011. „Making the world a more hygienic place“– with this motto, OPHARDT hygiene celebrates the “Global Hand Washing Day“ on October 15. Turning hand washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet into an ingrained habit could save more lives than any single vaccine or medical intervention. Therefore, this annual world-wide project focuses especially on children and how to improve their hand hygiene behaviour.In coordination with the Department of Heath (DOH) and the Rotary Club of EPZ, OPHARDT hygiene supports public schools and hospitals in the Philippines with soap dispensers and liquid soap. Already on October 11th, a demonstration and training on how to wash hands properly was provided for children at the Tanza National High School in Tanza, Cavite. More trainings at several public schools and hospitals within the Cavite area are already planned.
„We want to make our contribution to support and improve a sustainable culture of hand washing with soap” says Heiner Ophardt, CEO of OPHARDT hygiene.
