Mum's Magic Hands, Hygiene Promotion

Mum's Magic Hands is a complete package of resources for Hygiene Promotion to encourage and sustain the practise of hand washing with soap. The package includes, story boards for presentations, playing cards and games, stickers to deliver the central message.

The package has been developed by Oxfam Public Health Promotion Advisors and Unilever's Chief Sustainability Office following an extensive research project on hand washing practice in emergency contexts.

The Mums Magic Hands resources are based around the story of the lives of 4 children: Meena from South Asia, Miriam from the Middle East, Mimi from Africa and Maria from Latin America. It shows how their mothers magic hands care for and nurture them during difficult times, and the universality of mothers everywhere wanting the best for their children.
