This Global Handwashing Day, Lifebuoy and the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) challenged children to draw a poster which promotes the importance of handwashing with soap.
Lucky competition winners from over 20 countries will fly to the UN palace to take part in a high profile international handwashing event. This once in a life-time opportunity will involve the winning children washing their hands with a top celebrity as well as receiving a personalised handwashing award.
The contest is now closed for entries and the global winners will be announced very soon. Details for the ceremony will be available on lifebuoy.com in the near future.
