In an effort to promote hygiene and healthier practices among children, the ASSOCHAM Foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility (AFCSR), the social arm of ASSOCHAM organised an “Illness to Wellness” Handwashing Awareness event at the Navy Children School, New Delhi on Jan 23. Supported by hygiene brand Savlon, the initiative focused on fostering cleaner habits and raising awareness about the crucial role of hand hygiene in preventing the spread of illness.

Frequent handwashing is one of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to prevent illness and curb the spread of infections. This key message was delivered to students in an engaging and fun way through a video, which highlighted the correct handwashing techniques. The video aimed to instill these essential hygiene habits from an early age, encouraging children to embrace healthier practices and reduce the risk of infections and serious diseases.

The event saw over 600 students from grades III to V, along with teachers and staff, actively participating in interactive quizzes and live demonstrations. Experts guided students on the correct techniques of handwashing and explained its importance in reducing the spread of illnesses such as colds, flu, and other infections. The event culminated with a pledge, where students committed to consistently practicing proper hand hygiene and spreading awareness about the importance of washing hands thoroughly.

Speaking about the initiative, Anil Rajput, Chairperson, ASSOCHAM National Council on CSR said, “I am happy to note that under the Illness to Wellness campaign, sustained activities are being undertaken to generate awareness about the importance of handwashing to the school children. The adoption of this crucial daily routine can go a long way in reducing the prevalence of a large number of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections, and in the creation of an increasingly healthy and productive society.”

This event highlights the commitment to societal well-being, emphasising that good hygiene is the foundation of good health and a vital component of the “Illness to Wellness” journey for any community. In this process, handwashing plays a crucial role as one of the simplest yet most cost-effective ways to prevent the spread of diseases. And by engaging children in such an initiative, AFCSR aims to spark a ripple effect of awareness and healthier habits that will extend to families and communities at large.

Oshima Mathur, Principal, Navy Children School, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi said “Handwashing is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of infections. Teaching young children the correct handwashing techniques not only protects their health but also helps shape positive habits that they carry into adulthood. This awareness creates a ripple effect, fostering healthier families and communities. By conducting this handwashing workshop in partnership with ASSOCHAM, we are promoting hygiene and building a foundation for a healthier society.

The ‘Illness to Wellness’ campaign was launched in 2014 and remains committed to promoting health and well-being through empowering, educating, collaborating, and adopting of sustainable health practices. Over the years, it has aimed to maximise outreach and impact, from organising camps and awareness campaigns to holding regular webinars on key health topics and developments – with the clear purpo
