Why Hand Washing with Soap?

According to theAmerican CleaningI n s t i t u t e , h a n d

washing with soap isthe most effective andinexpensive way toprevent diarrheal andacute respiratoryinfections which take

the lives of millions ofchildren in developingcountries every year.Together, they areresponsible for themajority of all childdeaths. Despite itslifesaving potential,hand washing with

soap is seldompracticed. Even in theUnited States, wheresoap is plentiful, hand

washing does nothappen as often as itshould.
