Collaborate for Implementation

We can get the handwash stations manufactured, customised, and delivered to Gurgaon (and to several other cities). However, we will need the help of local authorities, NGOs, charities, companies, or other organisations to install these at the chosen locations and facilitate their operation.

Set Up a Local Chapter

Help us set up a local chapter of Clean Hands Initiative in your area. We can support your organisation by providing guidance on selecting locations, helping with the designing and manufacturing process, and sharing our learnings from the Gurgaon model. We are also looking for representatives to lead the local chapters.

Community Engagement and General Awareness Campaign

The sustainability of the Clean Hands Initiative depends on the continued use and maintenance of the handwash stations. The construction of adequate facilities needs to be accompanied by strong engagement of local communities and communication about the importance of hand hygiene starting before, and continuing after, the set-up. It is also important to monitor usage and take feedback on improvements and adjustments that may be needed.

Volunteer

We welcome volunteers who are interested in making a genuine difference. Our initiative is growing, and volunteers can help with central operations, awareness building, monitoring usage of existing handwash stations, and assisting with outreach.
