Since its 2020 launch, Lifebuoy's award-winning H for Handwashing campaign has reached more than 14 million children across 35 countries—and with Confessions of Moo Deng, the main message is poised to reach even more people around the world with the help of a viral baby pygmy hippopotamus.
Moo Deng's first branded video aims to redefine what "H" stands for. Although the letter is often associated with hippos in alphabet books for children, Moo Deng is helping to make sure that kids remember "H for Handwashing" too.
Alongside Moo Deng, this initiative features an AI-augmented teacher hippo to teach children proper handwashing techniques. Parents and caregivers can access the content by scanning QR codes to call up personalized games, activities, and songs focused on hygiene.
