In Nigeria, we say it takes a village to raise a child, but there are 27 bones in the human hand and it takes 19 bones and 19 joints in the hand for it to function smoothly. When it comes to taking care of one’s health, cultures across the world may differ on many fronts, but the importance of good hand washing practices unites us all.

Today is Global hand washing day and in a study by Dettol, Nigeria alone records 96,000 thousand deaths and that is why Jumia is offering discounts on Dettol Soaps and Hand Sanitizers to promote personal hygiene amongst everyone.
