Regular hand washing habit has potential to reduce morbidity and mortality due to diseases and improves child development and reduces absenteeism of children, teachers and workforce. Improving hand washing behavior is more cost effective than improving clean water and sanitation infrastructure. There are numbers of initiatives and interventions in place, which have gained momentum with key messages of a call to action with increasing investment in schools, engaging policy makers and demonstration them with evidence. However, change in behavior as a routine habit has not reached to an optimum level and requires institutionalizing hand washing practices in schools, from schools and by schools and develop it as a curriculum. Therefore, we are purposing principles of 5Es and 3Rs - a strategy to make hand washing a routine habit. These 5E principles are: i) Embedding in a system, ii) Enabling Environment, iii) Eliminating Friction, iv) Encouraging all, and v) Establishing intervention and 3Rs are practicing them Religiously, Routinely and Repeatedly. Numbers of interventions have well demonstrated that hand hygiene educational interventions can help maintaining good practices. Finally, if schools and community start doing today, we can observe behavioral change practices for hand washing as a routine habit by at least 10 years after.
