ABOUT
ABOUT CLAREHANDS
Clarehands (Pty) Ltd was established in September 2020 with the idea having been envisioned in December 2019. The idea came about after being served uncooked fish in a giant retail store by a staff member who had been mopping floors prior to handling the fish. Of course, we went on to alert her to wash her hands first; but this left a lasting impression and highlighted the gap in knowledge / awareness of the importance of hand hygiene and the implications of non-compliance.
We have made it our mission to educate and advocate for Good Hand Hygiene practices in a bid to mitigate infectious diseases as a result of poor hand hygiene. Our motto is “Better living through clean hands” and the training facilitators are passionate about embodying this motto. Our aim is to:
Training
Promote / advocate for Good Hand Hygiene practices by providing theoretical & practical training sessions to highlight the importance of preventing hand-borne diseases which in turn reduces healthcare related costs.
Behaviour
Drive / facilitate behavioral change programmes and highlight the critical moments of hand hygiene
Global Initiatives
Support global hand hygiene initiatives as well as to participate in the annual Hand Hygiene Day & Global Handwashing Day
Beyond Covid-19
Ensure that hand hygiene is a mainstay beyond the COVID-19 pandemic
