Global Handwashing Day 2025 – Be Handwashing Hero
Handwashing saves lives, yet many children don’t know its importance. Through this project, we empathized with children, understood their habits, and guided them toward proper hygiene, reflecting EQ in Action. Using creative demonstrations, songs, and interactive teaching, we solved a real community problem, embodying Impact Innovators. Our efforts on Global Handwashing Day 2025 raised awareness, promoted healthy habits, and contributed to SDGs 3, 4, and 6. 💧🧼🖐️
We conducted this project with 1 Ranger mate, visiting 2 Anganwadi centers. We asked children about their handwashing habits and explained its importance. Using interactive demonstrations, songs, and fun activities, we showed the correct handwashing steps — palms, fingers, nails, and wrists. Children practiced alongside us, enjoyed the activities, and were encouraged to make handwashing a daily routine, spreading awareness to families and creating a lasting positive impact. 💧🧼🖐️
The project created awareness about proper handwashing among children at two Anganwadi centres and in the local community. Children learned the correct technique, understood its importance, and were motivated to practice it daily. Families also became more conscious of hygiene. This small initiative contributed to better health habits, promoted SDGs 3, 4, and 6, and demonstrated how creative, empathetic action can drive positive community change. 💧🧼🖐️
Through this project, we learned the importance of empathy, patience, and clear communication while teaching children, strengthening our emotional intelligence. We realized that simple, creative methods like demonstrations, songs, and interactive activities make learning effective and fun, reflecting innovation in problem-solving. We also observed how small actions, like proper handwashing, can have a big impact on community health, motivating us to continue creating positive change. 💧🧼🖐️
