The walk, which started at the Ayi Mensah Hills to the Peduase Lodge in Aburi, was geared towards awareness creation for this year's World Oral Health Day.

The World Oral Health Day is celebrated every year on the 20th March and it is a day Unilever as a brand has set aside to celebrate the benefits of a healthy mouth and to promote worldwide awareness of the issues around oral health.

Addressing the various stakeholders that participated in the walk, the Corporate Communications Manager of Unilever, Cynthia Hiram Yaro said: "This is a day we set aside every year to inculcate the habit of brushing day and night into Ghanaians, especially kids."

Mrs Yaro also added that Unilever has set a target of reaching 1.2 million Ghanaians , particularly school kids, with the message of brushing day and night.
