“As we commemorate the Global Handwashing Day 2024, we
are reminded that over 1.5 million children globally still lose their lives annually to preventable diseases like diarrhoea and pneumonia, many of which could be averted through the simplest act of handwashing with soap.

According to her, poor hygiene not only endangers health but also affects school attendance, economic productivity, and community resilience.
“Our partnership with Self Help Africa reinforces our dedication to addressing these challenges.
“By engaging thousands of NYSC members as WASH Ambassadors, we are
equipping young Nigerians with the knowledge and tools to champion sustainable WASH solutions in schools, homes, and communities.
“These efforts align with the Federal Government’s National Action Plan for the Revitalization of Nigeria’s Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (2019–2030), as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6), aimed at ensuring universal access to clean water and sanitation.
“Through the WASH Innovation Challenge, our support for the grand prize
demonstrates our belief in the power of youth-driven innovation.
“By recognizing and rewarding outstanding solutions, we aim to inspire young leaders to create impactful, scalable change that contributes to breaking the cycle of waterborne diseases and building resilient communities.
“To the NYSC members serving as WASH Ambassadors, your role is vital. As young leaders, you have the opportunity to inspire change and transform simple practices like handwashing into lasting cultural norms.
“By championing this cause, you are directly contributing to healthier communities and a brighter future for Nigeria.
“At Sterling One Foundation, our mission goes beyond interventions to systemic change.
“We are committed to ensuring that no child misses school due to preventable illnesses; that families thrive in clean environments, and that the cycle of disease and poverty is permanently disrupted.
“Clean hands save lives, and through collaborative action, we can create a healthier, more equitable future for all Nigerians.
“Together, let us commit to making hand hygiene a daily habit and investing in the health, dignity, and prosperity of our communities”, she concluded.
