The Healthy Workplace Challenge is launching its second annual 30-day Global Handwashing Challenge for the month of November.

The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of critical hygiene-related health challenges facing communities around the world. Participants can complete short hygiene- and sanitation-themed online puzzles and sign a pledge to be a "Handwashing Champion." Each participant will choose one of three UNICEF programs to benefit from a $50,000 donation from the Kimberly Clark Foundation.

The three UNICEF initatives are:

• Lifesaving water kits for emergencies: This program will provide water kits to children and families that need to access clean water when they have been affected by emergencies such as floods or earthquakes.
• Clean and safe water for communities in need: UNICEF installs deep-well water pumps to give access to clean and safe water for washing and bathing.
• Water, sanitation and hygiene programs in Eastern and Southern Africa: Through hygiene promotion, including handwashing with soap, UNICEF maximizes health benefits, including the survival, growth and development of young children.

Kimberly-Clark's health and wellness program, along with the Kleenex brand family, will be supporting the 30-day challenge. The Healthy Workplace Project is a global initiative by Kimberly-Clark Professional, that helps workers understand and reduce the spread of cold and flu germs throughout their offices.
