These precious lives can be saved by acquiring habits that will safeguard the well-being of our children and the generations to come. Handwashing with soup should be part of our daily routine yet we always neglect it. We as an adult have better immune system than that of children and they are always in danger of infectious diseases. This is a considerable and a significant issue of global crisis.

However, diarrhea is preventable, and good hygiene practices such as cleaning and washing hands with soap especially after using toilet, before cooking and eating food and feeding children. This will significantly lower the chances of infections we face at homes and improving the health of family.
