In Huambo, ADPP's Sustainable Charcoal project is working to help families create their own low cost, low tech "tippy tap" handwashing systems.
Project staff carried out house to house visits to inform families about COVID-19 prevention, and to mobilize families to create their own water-efficient handwashing systems. In many villages, the "soba" (traditional leader) was the first to install a tippy tap in order to set an example. Now many families are creating their own.
