Bradley sponsors hygiene education program for The Philippines, Mexico and Thailand students
Bradley Company, global manufacturer of commercial washroom and handwashing solutions, is sponsoring the Germ Chasers Education Program, an initiative led by Planet Water Foundation.
This collaboration aims to enhance awareness and promote effective hygiene practices among school-aged children across underserved communities internationally.
Through online workshops, hands-on activities and educational materials, the program empowers students with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain better health and wellbeing through proper hygiene practices. Following the online training, teachers are provided with resources for educating students on healthy hygiene practices.
Since launching in January 2024, the Germ Chasers Education Program has been implemented in various schools across the globe. Through Bradley's involvement, 2,205 students at three elementary schools in The Philippines, Mexico and Thailand were supported with financial support as well as resources and expertise to aid in the program's development and execution.
"Bradley is committed to supporting initiatives that have a positive impact on public health and education," says Jon Dommisse, vice president of business development and strategy of Bradley Company. "Partnering with Planet Water Foundation for the Germ Chasers Education Program aligns with our mission to foster healthier communities and ensure that vital hygiene practices are accessible to all children, especially those in underserved areas."
John Deotrakul, chief development officer, Planet Water Foundation, says of the partnership:
"Planet Water Educators is thrilled to collaborate with Bradley Company to expand the reach of our Germ Chasers Education Program.
"This support enables us to deliver crucial educational content and resources to children who need it most, fostering a culture of health and hygiene that will benefit them for years to come."
In addition to sponsoring the Germ Chasers program, Bradley has conducted the Healthy Handwashing Survey for the past 15 years to promote the health importance of hand hygiene. The annual study tracks handwashing habits and attitudes of Americans and examines restroom perceptions and preferences regarding the use of public washrooms.
The Menomonee Falls, WI, US-based company - a subsidiary of Watts Water Technologies, serves commercial, institutional and industrial building markets worldwide. For more than 100 years, it has been known as a leader in advanced commercial washrooms and comprehensive emergency safety solutions that make public environments hygienic and safe. The company is known for its WashBar - claimed to be the the industry's first and most specified multi-function touchless handwashing and drying fixture. Washroom accessories, partitions, HDPE and phenolic lockers, as well as emergency safety fixtures and electric tankless heaters round out its product range.
