The WASH Rotary Action Group (WASH-rag) was formed in 2007 by a group of Rotarians, recognized by Rotary International, and focused on WASH projects.
Since then it has facilitated many hundreds of projects – helping clubs find partners, ensuring sustainability, stressing the importance of a needs-driven approach, and developing best practices. Encouraging a holistic, integrated approach in which water is not the end in itself, but is rather the means to a better life and livelihood in the community. WASH-rag links water and sanitation to improved hygiene, better health, and empowerment of the community, irrigation and agriculture, education and literacy and, ultimately, child mortality.

October 15 is Global Handwashing Day.
This initiative is to increase awareness of the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF are jointly calling for action to achieve universal hand hygiene. They have released a document that outlines why handwashing is important and a framework on how to achieve this.
