Sunday 15 October is Global Handwashing Day.
Good hygiene saves lives: every year 1.7 million children die from diarrhoea and pneumonia.
Australia's Civil Society Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Fund is on track to support over 2.07 million additional people have access to handwashing facilities with soap or ash in their homes. The Fund is also on track to support nearly 500,000 additional students access better hygiene knowledge at school.
