Choo Salama, an NGO that promotes hygienic behavior by cleaning school toilets on a weekly basis hosted Global Handwashing Day activities at Ubungo Plaza Primary School (Grade 1-3).
Activities included:
1. Teaching the children about the spread of germs through hands – we applied charcoal on the kids hands and asked them to give each other a handshake.
2. Then we taught the kids how to properly wash their hands – practically with water.
3. Held a quiz contest, with prizes for the winners.
4. We built a “tippy tap” a device that the children will use to wash their hands even though their school does not have running water
5. Meanwhile a cleaning company cleaned all the toilets which were in poor condition due to the lack of water.
