RGHI brings hygiene and its benefits to the attention of the public and policymakers to drive more coordinated health efforts.
By approaching hygiene holistically
and harnessing the power of science, we will improve the approach to hygiene and save lives.
Preventing Disease Benefits Society
Building up the hygiene evidence base will yield best practices that can improve the quality of life and economic potential for communities across the globe.
The adoption of science-based hygienic practices requires access to the necessary tools, such as soap and water, as well as investment. Neutral and scalable research informs policymakers and can establish grounds for the investment required to make a substantial positive impact to improve hygiene.
