"Soap & H20" Statistics
• 1.6 million deaths a year are attributed to preventable diseases spread through unsafe water, poor sanitation, and lack of hygiene.
• Handwashing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection.
• Washing hands with soap and water could reduce diarrheal disease and death by up to 50%.
• Even under circumstances where clean water is not available, evidence indicates that hygiene practices using unsafe water are beneficial to reducing the spread of disease and are better than not washing at all.
• In addition to water, another hygiene challenge in less developed countries is access to soap. Even when soap is available, it is typically used for laundry and bathing instead of for handwashing. (from
