🌍 We’re excited to share that we recently held a Training of Trainers (ToT) for 20 Community Health Entrepreneurs (CHEs) in Bugiri and 19 CHEs in Iganga, focusing on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) using the engaging social behavior change game, “Rosie’s World”! 🎉 This initiative, in partnership with WASH United, helps break down myths about menstruation and empowers CHEs to educate young girls in schools, creating a positive ripple effect. Menstrual hygiene is a key focus for Healthy Entrepreneurs, and we are dedicated to supporting sustainable impact in this vital area. Join us in this important movement! Together, we can ensure every girl has access to the knowledge and resources she needs for healthy menstruation. 💪💖 #MenstrualHygieneManagement #CommunityHealth #RosiesWorld #BreakingBarriers #HealthEducation #EmpowerGirls #WASHUnited

Clean hands are a fundamental defense against the spread of infections, illnesses, and harmful germs. Whether in hospitals, schools, or everyday interactions, practicing handwashing with soap contributes to better health outcomes and a safer world for everyone. As we move forward from recent global challenges, we must ask ourselves: Why are clean hands still important? The answer lies in our collective responsibility to safeguard public health, prevent infections, and promote well-being. Handwashing with soap is not just a personal hygiene practice; it is a crucial public health measure that can reduce the incidence of diseases significantly. In fact, proper hand hygiene can decrease the risk of diarrheal disease by up to 45% and pneumonia by 23% (UNICEF). As professionals and advocates for health, we must champion the message that clean hands save lives. Let’s commit to making handwashing a priority in our communities and workplaces. Together, we can foster a culture of hygiene that protects everyone and ensures a healthier future. Join us in spreading awareness about the importance of hand hygiene—because clean hands are essential for a healthier world! #GlobalHandWashingDay #CleanHands #PublicHealth #WorldHealthDay #HealthyEntrepreneurs #HealthcareCloseToYou
