SaniTap is designed to supply the daily handwashing requirements of a household making it an ideal tool for COVID-19 handwashing while also social distancing and avoiding crowding at water access points.

The SaniTap makes handwashing with soap practical for households without running water. It is light-weight: low cost; easily transported, and ideal for distribution in the context of hygiene public health and COVID-19 prevention programmes.
SaniTap was developed as a means of reducing deaths from pneumonia and diarrhoeal diseases through effective handwashing – it is even more relevant now.

Handwashing with soap is the single most important way to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
