National Handwashing Day – October 2020
SaniTap is delighted to announce that Business Connect is one of our new global distributors for our flagship SaniTap handwashing dispenser. BC’s mission is to provide citizens living in the Global South with affordable and easy access to clean water, through the creation of sustainable local business models. The SaniTap seamlessly fits within their portfolio. Washing hands is of course especially important in response to the Coronavirus.
The first SaniTap shipments have already been dispatched to various countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas, and we look forward to reaching increasing numbers of people with the health benefits of handwashing with soap, even if there is no running water at home.
Business Connect stated in their press release:
“This product provides clean water for washing hands, which is especially important in response to the Coronavirus. To avoid recontamination of washed hands, the unique spout design easily pulls down with just two fingers, and can be closed by a gentle upwards tap with the back of the hand. The net keeps the bar of soap conveniently near the flow of water and prevents the bar from falling on the ground or getting lost.”
To minimise the use of water, important in water-scarce environments, the spout dispenses a minimal amount of water that is more than sufficient to wash hands. The device can conveniently be hung by a nail or from a stick and delivers 3 litres of water over 10 minutes – that’s enough for a family of 5 to wash their hands 3 times a day.
We are thrilled in this example of collaboration within the WASH sector.
