Picture this: you’re about to shake someone’s hand. They smile, reach out confidently, and you know that hand is clean, fresh, and safe. Feels good, right? That’s the magic of handwashing, it’s not just about hygiene, it’s about confidence and care for yourself and others.
World Handwashing Day this month is a reminder that our hands carry more than just vibes, they carry health, warmth, and connection. From money to matatu rails, we touch everything, and everything touches back. But with clean hands, we stay in control.
Here’s the deal:
- Wash your hands before you eat (yes, even if it’s just smokies).
- After using the washroom (no shortcuts here).
- After sneezing, after handling money, or whenever you’ve been out and about.
And no, a quick sprinkle won’t cut it. Proper handwashing means using Jamaa Bar Soap, running water, and at least 20 seconds. If you need a timer, sing “Happy Birthday” in your head, but this time, let the germs know they’re not invited to the party.
So next time you stretch your hand for a handshake, do it with pride. Clean hands aren’t just polite, they’re powerful.
