HAND WASHING FACILITY
A hand washing facility inside the toilet where hands can be washed under running water with soap – resulting in unsurpassed health and hygiene benefits. The system requires only about 300 milliliters of water per wash and if there is no water the system still functions as a dry system. It needs to be mentioned that where people live there is water but not necessarily enough for waterborne systems, but surely enough for hand washing. This principal has been advocated by the World Health Organization (WHO) for decades as it reduces contamination and sanitation related diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, pneumonia etc, drastically resulting in poverty eradication, reducing Health budgets, improving dignity, improving school attendance and manymore. The Hand washing facility comprises of a Reservoir, hand washbasin, and a cistern, all functioning to bring about the message of health and hygiene
