Handwashing Campaign

In 2001, WFPHA and the Colgate Palmolive Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding that launched the WFPHA/Colgate Palmolive joint Handwashing Program. With the support of Colgate Palmolive, this program was established to promote effective hygiene practices for healthy living in developing countries. The program will be undertaken in countries that have both a WFPHA Member Association and a Colgate Palmolive office and will provide the opportunity for WFPHA Member Associations to organize and implement an important public health campaign to benefit the local population while also gaining greater visibility in their countries.

Currently, WFPHA and Colgate Palmolive are working with a selected group of WFPHA member countries to plan the launch of the Handwashing Program. The program will be launched in one country and then expanded to additional countries in the future.
