Summary

The Zimbabwe WASH Coalition helped organize a Global Handwashing Commemoration Day. The day started with the distribution of t-shirts and posters. This was followed by a radio programme discussing the importance and significance of Global Handwashing Day, particularly in view of last season’s cholera pandemic. Students taught other participants proper hand washing and a quiz show awarded prizes to those who answered correctly.
