On a recent Monday morning, 20-year-old Sharon Mong’are put on her “Hero for Change” T-shirt and made her way to a health clinic in Kenya to teach new mothers about the importance of washing their hands with soap.
It was October 15, Global Handwashing Day, and hundreds of volunteers like Sharon were deployed in clinics, crèches and schools all over Kenya to share this life-saving habit. In the clinic, Sharon sprinkled “Glo Germ” on one of the mothers’ hands, a substance that makes germs glow under UV light.
