Tippy Taps

Meet the Tippy Tap! It’s a device used in remote areas of Africa to wash hands when running water isn’t available. This may be an interesting DIY project to help your community stay healthy. Whether it’s installed at the front of your house or at the entrances of buildings or villages without handwashing facilities, a simple Tippy Tap is a fantastic tool to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
