Every year, two million children fail to reach their fifth birthday because of diseases such as diarrhoea and pneumonia. That's two million too many especially when the simple act of hand washing could help erase this tragedy. Lifebuoy has taught healthy hand washing habits to 130 million people around the world.

Lifebouy's director of global research, Dr Vibhav Sanzgirl, explains why it pays to wash hands, "Hands can become dirty very quickly as we go through our daily activities. Washing hands with soap helps ensure that you don't pass invisible germs into your mouth that might make you sick. What you wash your hands with is crucial. "Don't just wash up with any plain soap and water especially before you eat or prepare food. Make sure you use a proven antibacterial formula like Lifebuoy to do the job in killing germs that cause illnesses."
