Belmont Hotel Manila proudly supports the Global Handwashing Partnership’s advocacy, which is dedicated to mobilizing communities worldwide to enhance handwashing practices. Global Handwashing Day serves as an important reminder of the vital role proper hand hygiene plays in preventing the spread of diseases, not only within the foodservice industry but also in combating emerging public health threats.

In collaboration with Project Pearls, a non-profit organization focused on community service and scholarships, Belmont Hotel Manila aims to raise awareness about hand hygiene across various communities, including Tondo, Bulacan, and Naic, Cavite. The hotel provides essential hand hygiene supplies, such as soap and sanitizer, empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain clean hands and reduce the incidence of illness.
To further promote hand cleanliness, the hotel has installed plumbing-free handwashing stations called “tippy taps” in Tondo. This practical design encourages effective handwashing without requiring plumbing infrastructure.

This initiative emphasizes that the best defense against many illnesses is consistent handwashing, not costly treatments. Participants will learn how proper hand hygiene can reduce health risks like food poisoning, eye infections, diarrhea, and respiratory issues, contributing to overall well-being.
Belmont Hotel Manila is committed to positively impacting community health and underscores its dedication to sustainability and social responsibility through this initiative. By fostering hand hygiene awareness, the hotel aspires to equip communities with the skills necessary to protect their health while promoting a culture of wellness.
