Description: Children from the slums are at the highest risk of diseases like gastroenteritis and diarrhea. Teaching these kids to wash their hands is the easiest way to prevent these illnesses.

However, traditional methods of education have fallen on deaf ears.
Children don’t like being instructed and find handwashing tedious.

To get them to listen, we needed to hack into culture and make it more relatable. Enter Hip-hop.

The slums are the home of Hip-Hop in India. The kids here live and breathe hip-hop. Even their idols have risen from these streets.

We noticed hip-hop is full of the ‘hand rub’– a move that looks exactly like handwashing. So, we hacked it and turned it into a handwashing move.
The idea began with a shout-out to Emiway Bantai—a hip-hop icon who rose from the slums—we called him a #HandwashLegend for doing the ‘Handwashing Move’ in his videos.

Through the campaign, thousands of fans spotted, celebrated, and even performed the handwashing move.
The campaign proved that if you tell kids to wash their hands, they won’t listen. But entertain them, and they will listen
