TRADE KINGS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT HAND WASHING

TRADE Kings Group through the Hero Brand Hygienix, has partnered and supported the Lusaka City Council ahead of this year’s Global Hand Wash Commemoration which falls today.

Today’s commemoration is being celebrated under the theme “Unite for Universal Hand Hygiene to continuing raising awareness about hand washing with soap to prevent diseases especially after the Covid 19 Pandemic.”

Global Handwashing Day is an opportunity to design, test, and replicate creative ways to encourage people to wash their hands at critical times.

Trade Kings has donated to the Lusaka City Council hygiene products, which include the hand washing soap as a demonstration of its commitment towards the pillar of health as one of its key areas of focus. The Group has been a committed partner with the health authorities and Lusaka City Council to support efforts and actions in creating awareness and preventing diseases to save lives including Cholera and Covid 19 especially through the Trade Kings Foundation.

This is according to the Group Public Relations and Corporate Affairs Manager Bridget Kambobe in a statement.

Ms Kambobe stated that the Trade Kings in its resolute position to contribute to saving lives, had indicated its willingness to voluntarily donate hand washing soap to a few targeted schools in Lusaka as part of this year’s celebration.

“Hand hygiene needs to become part of our everyday life, now and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. Hand washing with soap is the easiest and most cost-effective way to save lives.

“The Hygienix Hand Wash has played a critical role in the provision of quality and affordable product for the lifesaving act of hand washing. We’re reaffirming our commitments to ensure hand washing with soap becomes a lesson learned early never to be forgotten,” she said.

Every year on October 15, millions of people celebrate Global Hand Washing Day worldwide by way of events and advocacy campaigns.

This day, which was founded by the Global Partnership in 2008, seeks to help communities, advocates, and leaders spread the word about hand washing with soap.

It also provides a platform for sustained action at global regional and national levels.
