@PSIimpact As much as everything is a priority in poor countries, we have to start with the core of the problems.

Storified by PSI · Mon, Oct 22 2012 11:30:18

It's almost time! How can #brands + NGOs work together to influence #consumer behavior & save millions of lives? #iwashmyhands

— CSRwire · Mon, Oct 22 2012 09:58:47

And off we go...welcome all to our chat today w/ @unilever's Anila Gopal & @PSIhealthylives' Katharine McHugh! Much to discuss #iwashmyhands

— Aman Singh · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:01:28

Wash your hands then get to our tweetchat! We've just started. #iwashmyhands

— CSRwire · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:04:41

Q1: When was Global Handwashing Day launched? Can u bring us up to date on the drivers behind the initiative? #sustainability #iwashmyhands

— Aman Singh · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:04:04

Q1.a: What were the main drivers behind cofounding the PPPHW? @unilever #iwashmyhands

— Aman Singh · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:09:41

A1 GHD started in 2008 as part of the public private partnership (PPPHW) which Unilever co-founded http://www.globalhandwashing.org/ #iwashmyhands

— Unilever News · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:07:50

@Unilever GHD started in 2008 as part of the public private partnership (PPPHW) which Unilever co-founded #iwashmyhands

— CSRwire · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:10:29

A1: PSI has participated in GHD since 2008. We are proud to join forces w/ Unilever to bring attention to this important issue #iwashmyhands

— PSI · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:12:30

A1a The vision was to raise the profile of handwashing with scale globally http://www.globalhandwashing.org/ #iwashmyhands #iwashmyhands

— Unilever News · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:13:41

A1: PPPs are essential. Unilever's marketing expertise complements PSI's on-the-ground networks, helping us build HWWS habits. #iwashmyhands

— PSI · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:18:33

what is the appropriate protocol for public officials and speakers after they have shaken hands during appearances? #iwashmyhands

— joe sibilia · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:09:37

#iwashmyhands do hand sanitizers work as well? I would think not as good as old fashioned soap and water.

— Jeannine Meegan · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:16:22

Building on that, @psihealthylives: Q.2 Is #handwashing an issue restricted to the #developing economies? #iwashmyhands

— Aman Singh · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:15:03

#Iwashmyhands ? W/ women & girls advocacy & promises of water/health NGOs, how can hand washing piggyback on other investments/advocacy?

— ReachScale · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:23:53

Q2: Handwashing in the UK and US is surprisingly low & not an integral part of everyone's daily routine. It's a global issue #iwashmyhands

— PSI · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:22:24

Q3. How does progress on handwashing compare with how the other Millenium Development Goals are progressing? @unilever #socent #iwashmyhands

— Aman Singh · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:20:03

A3 Current rates of handwashing are low despite its impact on MDG4 #iwashmyhands #iwashmyhands

— Unilever News · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:24:58

A3 see UN report on diarrhoea and pneumonia http://www.unicef.org/media/files/UNICEF_P_D_complete_0604.pdf #iwashmyhands #iwashmyhands

— Unilever News · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:26:35

A3: 2 million children don’t reach their 5th birthday, largely due to diarrhea & pneumonia. Hand washing could prevent this #iwashmyhands

— PSI · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:28:40

Q4. The MDGs are critically integrated but the solutions so far have not been..why so slow? @psihealthylives @unilever #iwashmyhands

— Aman Singh · Mon, Oct 22 2012 10:27:20
