Clean Hands, Good Health
Goal 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation
Design your own creative, engaging and sustainable hand-washing device.
What is this challenge?
The Covid-19 global pandemic has been a powerful reminder of just how crucial hand hygiene is in keeping healthy and avoiding serious illness. In this challenge, you will learn about some remarkable initiatives in developing countries to develop innovative, low-cost, sustainable hand washing devices. You will then consider where a novel hand washing device in your own community would be most effective, and what might encourage people to use it – perhaps through playful or artistic design. Finally, you will design, sketch and, if you wish, make a prototype of your own sustainable hand washing device.
When can I participate?
