Build a Tip Tap

This ingenious African hand-washer helps keep hygiene levels high in Africa, where diseases can spread easily.

Often situated outside a loo or by a cowshed, a Tip Tap is a simple structure made from readily available materials. It allows families to wash their hands where there is no running water, simply by pressing a lever with their foot. Families who have built a Tip Tap notice that instances of upset tummies drop almost immediately.

1.4 million children die every year from illnesses caused by unclean water and poor sanitation; Tip Taps help to keep families healthy.

We give this gift in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Lesotho.
