Increase the habit of children washing their hands with soap after before eating (including snacks) and after defecation
While caregivers understand and can recall the critical moments to wash their hands and children’s hands with soap, this has not yet become a regular habit and there is no urgency to do so. Households do not understand how germs can be transferred from one place to another by touching things with contaminated hands or feet. Children are especially at risk, as it is common for them to eat snacks throughout the day without washing their hands, with no easy access to handwashing facilities, and no instruction from caregivers at this critical point.
