Project Supporters,
Thanks to you, girls are getting the support they need to become future leaders in Africa. This past week a hands-free washing station was set up at Hope Academy for Girls at York Village.
The students at Hope Academy were encouraged to use the hands-free washing stations not only during this period of Covid-19 but on an ongoing basis as it helps promote much-needed hygiene in their schools and reduce the spread of germs.
The design of the mobile hand's fee washing is essential to limit cross-contamination between hand washers. The main components of the system entail: a water tank with a holding capacity of 200 Liters and a sink that holds the water and direct it into another third component which is the wastewater holding bucket and on the right side is a sub dispensable unit and on the left, a tap and are both operated by foot.
The students at Hope Academy were very thankful for the handwashing station, saying it was a dream come true that they won’t have to fetch water on a daily basis. According to the Head of the Hope Academy for Girls, the whole idea of the hands-free washing station comes with what they as a school believe in keeping the school environment clean.
