LET’S START WITH CLEAN HANDS OURSELVES ...
In Singapore, startling figures show that 33% of the population do not wash their hands after going to the toilets. 54% do not wash their hands after meals. 30% do not wash their hands before meals. Lastly, 40% do not wash their hands every time with soap.
That was why the campaign focussed on raising the awareness and education among our own employees to proper handwashing techniques. With the Lifebuoy brand team, we demonstrated the benefits of proper hand-washing with soap by conducting the Lifebuoy Glo-Germ Test.
Employees who volunteered to take the test were astounded with the findings of the immediate effects of washing with soap, versus washing with water only.
Lastly, employees were encouraged to share the message of Global Hand-washing Day with their family and friends through various activities such as the Global GHD Drawing Competition and sharing the Gingerbread Man story as a modern-day communicator to drive home the message.
All employees were also given a Lifebuoy gift set and information flyers.
