Washing hands
One of the best ways to prevent health problems
from germs and worms is to wash hands with soap and water after defecating or
cleaning a baby’s bottom, and before preparing food, feeding children, or
eating. Keep a source of clean water near your home to make
hand washing easier. But washing with water alone is not effective enough. Use
soap to remove dirt and germs. If no soap is available, use sand, soil, or
ashes.Rub hands together with soap and flowing water from
a pump, tap (faucet), or tippy tap. If there is no flowing water, use a
washbasin or bowl. Lather soap (or rub sand or ashes) all over your hands and
count to 30 as you rub them. Then rub your hands together under the water to
rinse off. Dry with a clean cloth or let your hands dry in the air.
