The Global Handwashing Day (GHD) is observed on 15 October every year. Each year on October 15, Global Handwashing Day highlights the importance of handwashing with soap and water at home, in the community, and around the world.
The day was established by the Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP) (formerly called “Public Private Partnership for Handwashing” (PPPHW)) in 2008
The theme of GHD 2021 is “Our Future Is at Hand – Let’s Move Forward Together”.
