Global Handwashing Day is an annual global advocacy day dedicated to advocating for handwashing with soap as an easy, effective, and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives.
Global Handwashing Day was founded by the Global Handwashing Partnership, and is an opportunity to design, test, and replicate creative ways to encourage people to wash their hands with soap at critical times. Global Handwashing Day is celebrated every year on October 15th.
The first Global Handwashing Day was held in 2008, when over 120 million children around the world washed their hands with soap in more than 70 countries. Since 2008, 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. Since then, Global Handwashing Day has continued to grow. Global Handwashing Day is endorsed by governments, schools, international institutions, civil society organizations, NGOs, private companies, individuals, and more.
Planning a Global Handwashing Day event can be a big job, but it doesn’t have to be! The Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP) put together this step-by-step guide to help make planning successful Global Handwashing Day activities as easy as possible. This step-by-step guide can be found in the Global Handwashing Day Planner’s Guide along with an event planning checklist, celebration ideas, case studies, and much more.
If you are looking to plan a handwashing behavior change program, see the GHP resources and education modules.

COLLECT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT THE CURRENT SITUATION
The first step of planning a Global Handwashing Day event is to get background on the current hygiene situation in the region or country where you plan to host your event. This will help you to better target your messaging so that the event can have as big an impact as possible.
People in different places wash their hands — or don’t wash their hands — for all sorts of different reasons. If you understand these reasons, you can use them to design an effective handwashing promotion campaign. Do some local research to find out what people do now and why, and what benefits of handwashing with soap particularly appeal to them. Often people are driven by things like disgust or the desire to nurture their children, rather than concern about their health. The SuperAmma campaign, for example, found that these emotional drivers were very effective in promoting handwashing behaviors. Social norms can also play a role in triggering handwashing behavior. You can read more about social norms here.
Seek information about what proportion of people in your target area wash their hands with soap, without soap, or not at all. Find out what proportion of children under the age of five get diarrhea and pneumonia. Check whether schoolchildren have access to handwashing stations (soap and clean running water) at school or at home. If the information you need isn’t available, do a survey. This will provide evidence that will make the case for the need to promote handwashing.
As a reminder, it is important to draw a distinction between handwashing with water alone — which is commonly practiced — and handwashing with soap, which is comparatively infrequent despite being more effective.
From the data collection will emerge your key messages. For instance, you may find that 60 percent of people wash their hands with water — and think that doing so is sufficient — but only 10 percent wash their hands with soap. Thus, your key message may center around the idea that water alone is not enough — you need to wash with soap for truly clean hands — possibly evoking disgust at all the germs that are found on the hands.Is celebrated.
