GSK: Personal Hygiene and Sanitation Education (PHASE)

Every year more than three million people die of diarrhoea-related disease, mostly children in developing countries. These deaths can often be easily prevented through better hand washing and sanitation. Established in 1988, PHASE is a low-cost education programme helping to reduce diarrhoea-related disease by encouraging school children to wash their hands. PHASE currently operates in 16 countries – Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Senegal, Tajikistan, Uganda, UK and Zambia- reaching more than one million children and their extended families.
