The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund has stated that nine out of 10 schools in Nigeria lack handwashing facilities for children.

Also, one in three healthcare facilities worldwide does not have hand hygiene facilities at points of care where the patient, healthcare worker, and treatment involve contact with the patient. In Nigeria, this figure is four in five healthcare facilities

“Global response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic have created an unprecedented time for hand hygiene. Yet progress remains far too slow for the most vulnerable, underserved communities,” said UNICEF WASH Director Kelly Ann Naylor. She added, “Hand hygiene cannot be viewed as a temporary provision to manage COVID-19. Further long-term investment in water, sanitation, and hygiene can help prevent the next health crisis from coming. It also means fewer people falling ill with respiratory infections, fewer children dying from diarrheal diseases, and more pregnant mothers and newborns protected from preventable conditions like sepsis.

We know, tenkiu

Are they talking about washing hand facilities when those schools have bad roofs and windows

Some don’t even have 🪑

So the UNICEF won't talk about how children in Nigeria are poorly fed, it's hand washing?
