In times of health emergencies and humanitarian disasters where water is scarce, people worldwide have relied on the Tippy Tap. It s a DIY hand-washing station developed by aid workers that can be made fast with readily available materials: sticks, string and a water container.
But for heavy-duty use washing up several times a day during a pandemic that has stretched beyond a year, for example a makeshift Tippy Tap just won t cut it.
Unfortunately, even with new innovations, there is no one-size-fits-all hand-washing solution for every crisis, says Michelle Farrington, a public health expert at Oxfam, an international aid group that has been implementing alternatives to the Tippy Tap.
