WITH the aim of fostering good handwashing habits among young children, Japanese hand soap brand, Kirei Kirei conducted a hand hygiene programme for primary school students in the Klang Valley in the last few months.
Over 4,000 children benefited from the programme and RM50,000 worth of products contributed to participating schools.
The practice of handwashing is viewed as an effective method in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, which are usually disseminated through poor hand hygiene.
Handwashing is an easy, economical, and effective way to remove germs, prevent the spread of germs to others, and avoid getting sick. This is especially useful when it comes to preventing diseases such as Hand Foot Mouth (HFMD) and influenza, which have seen a rise in cases in the country in recent months.
Although people clean their hands with water, very few actually use soap, which removes germs much more effectively.
With that in mind, Kirei Kirei created a fun and educational programme to cultivate proper handwashing techniques amongst Malaysian students.
Kirei Kirei has also contributed RM53,000 worth of Kirei Kirei Foaming Hand Wash products to participating schools. These products have been placed in canteens, toilets, washbasins, and other appropriate areas, so students are able to keep their hands clean all the time.
Posters and mirror stickers have also been strategically put up to serve as reminders about the seven handwashing steps.
Kirei Kirei Kid-safe Anti-bacterial Foaming Hand Wash comes in two variants - Moisturising Peach and Nourishing Berries.
