International Day of the Girl Child (October 11)

Each day, nearly 600 adolescent girls and young women worldwide are infected with HIV. CDC is working to provide girls around the world with lifesaving HIV testing and treatment as part of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).





                           
                             
Global Handwashing Day (October 15)

Global Handwashing Day highlights the importance of handwashing at home, in the community, and around the world. Washing hands when visiting places where communities gather can keep diseases like cholera, flu, and COVID-19 from spreading.




In Kenya and Uganda, CDC’s Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch (WDPB) and global partners are improving access to handwashing facilities at community gathering locations.
