Dettol promotes children's hygienes

Dettol, the United Kingdom-based disinfectant brand owned by consumer goods giant Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc, has announced a three-year collaboration to help promote children's hygiene in China, through regular hand-washing.

Working with the China Health Education Center, China Internet Information Center and non-governmental organization Save the Children, the project will raise hand-washing awareness among adults and children in more than 100 maternity and children's hospitals, and 10,000 kindergartens.

The project was launched on Oct 14, the day before Global Handwashing Day - a disease-prevention campaign to promote the washing of hands at critical moments throughout each day.
