World Hand-washing Day to be Launched by UNICEF
An estimated 5,000 children die daily from diarrhoea, but half of those deaths could be prevented if they washed their hands with soap before meals and after going to the toilet, UNICEF spokeswoman Veronique Taveau said.
To raise awareness on the issue, the UN children's fund is launching the first Global Hand-Washing Day on Wednesday.
The day opens up a "real global battle for hygiene, in which the protagonists would be children themselves," said Taveau.
"The children are also those who, once at home among their family members and community, will introduce... a simple gesture that saves lives," she said.
In over 60 developing countries, the vast majority of them in Asia and Africa, activities would be launched in schools to introduce children to the importance of hygiene and hand-washing in particular.
Among Asian countries, hygiene conditions are particularly bad in India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. In West Africa, diarrhoea is the third cause of mortality among children.
"Hand-washing with soap is the most efficient intervention and the least costly way to prevent deaths by diarrhoea" as well as from cholera and pneumonia, UNICEF's Taveau said.

My breasts not only lost its size but also became saggy and empty.
I tried another product for 6 months and it didnât work for me.
The worse part, I cut off completely all caffeine, all soft drinks and didnât have a sip of alcohol.
That was the requirement that I would get maximum benefits.
Not only I didnât get the benefits but I also was deprived of things that I like (I couldnât go a day without a chocolate).
I was skeptical when I saw Zoft Breast Enhancement Gum.
But since I like chewing gum and I didnât need to do the sacrifices that I did with the other product I decided to take a chance.
Within the first month I got tingling in my breasts, so I knew that the product was working.
The second month I had a huge discomfort in my breasts for two days and then my breasts got fuller.
