Zoomlion Foundation and partners mark health and handwashing awareness campaign

Zoomlion Foundation has marked this year’s Global Handwashing Day with 3,000 Zoomkids Club members at Nii Sowah Din Cluster of Schools in Adentan Municipality of Accra.

The Communications and Corporate Affairs Director of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Emma Adwoa Appiaa Osei-Duah, noted that the objective of Global Handwashing Day is to get the children to know the need to regularly wash their hands while also encouraging their mates and family members to do the same.

She added that every year, the Zoomkids join international and national partners to celebrate Global Handwashing Day.

The Public Relations Manager of the Adenta Municipal Education Directorate, Gloria Mensah, explained that the motive for partnering with the Zoomlion Foundation is to promote handwashing education for the school children in the municipality.

She commended Zoomlion Foundation for providing handwashing facilities to the schools within the municipality.

She advised the school children to take handwashing very seriously and also educate their siblings at home on good environmental practices.

According to Korley, the Zoomlion Foundation, together with its partners, has planned a month-long series of activities to observe Global Handwashing Day
