Since 2014, Pepsodent has reached 5 million school children with the Brush Day and Night campaign all over the country.
In an interview with Joel Boateng, Oral care Category manager in Unilever Ghana, he mentioned that, good oral hygiene is an essential element of general wellbeing, thus, it is a privilege for Pepsodent to go a step further and be more than just a product, by championing the brush twice daily which is a good way to impact lives and imbibe good health practices in the lifestyle of all Ghanaians and the world at large.
