two hugely popular cricket celebrities.
 Almost 1 million school teachers received training courses to
execute the campaign and to reach out to about 100 million
school children. Materials developed included: posters, teacher
training module on handwashing, pamphlet with pledge for
students, TV spots and radio jingles, all including 25 seconds
central song on the 5 steps for correct handwashing.
 The concerned ministers at national and state levels launched
the campaign on 15th October by participating in the
handwashing activities with children in rural schools. Activities
in schools included: children pledging towards hygiene,
organized handwashing games and washing hands in a giant
waterfall.

 Hygiene strategies
 These are examples of the inclusive, practical and
appropriate strategies used to promote good hygiene
practices:
Local heath motivators
 Community members are recruited to promote key
hygiene practices to their friends and neighbors.
Women are often recruited in these roles as they are
most affected by water and
sanitation issues. By receiving training and taking on
an important role they also strengthen their status
within their community.
.
 Children and schools
 Children are taught good hygiene messages in schools
through
songs, games and drama.

 This is done because children are more open to
discussing and changing hygiene habits than adults.
When children learn the importance of good hygiene
practices they are encouraged to pass these on to their
families and friends, extending the benefits long into
the future.

Community-wide activities
 These can include practical demonstrations
of hygiene practices, drama performances,
radio and puppet shows, videos, picture
books and cards, and health rallies. Once
hygiene education has begun it is crucial that
it continues. All the methods
described here are community-led and
designed to bring about
sustainable behavior change
