            (L to R) Rachna Lodha, Rajani Lodha, Preeti Lodha and Manisha Yadav elected to childern school cabinet pose for a picture at thier school in village Hilgna, district Guna in Madhya Pradesh. The handwashing campaign, part of a UNICEF programme called ÔSchool Saving LivesÕ, stresses the importance of using soap, not just water, to clean hands before eating or preparing food after using the toilet, changing a babyÕs soiled pants and other tasks. Despite being rich in natural resources like diamonds, Madhya Pradesh is more infamous for its poverty. It is home to around 50 million people who defecate in the open air without latrines (around 70% of its 72 million people). These people consequently do not have adequate hygiene, without soap and enough water to wash their hands after defecating. About 5% of the global total of open defecators can be found in this one Indian state alone. Madhya Pradesh is also home to some of the most undernourished children in India with 50% of under threeÕs suffering from stunting (chronic malnutrition), an indicator of long-term persistent nutrition deprivation that lead to poor physical growth and brain development in children with tragic implications for child survival, growth and development. As much as 50% of malnutrition is caused not by a lack of food or poor diets, but due to poor water, poor sanitation facilities and unhygienic practices - like not washing hands properly with soap.  2.5 billion cases of diarrhoea in children under-five are recorded worldwide every year , and in India diarrhoea caused 2,12,000 child deaths in 2010 alone. Moreover, many people do not recognise diarrhoea as a problem; because it is so recurrent it is thought to be normal, and they do not seek help. These numbers are therefore likely to be under reported.  UNICEF India/ 2013/ Manpreet Romana...
