Tippytap

Every day in India almost a thousand children die from diarrhea. The sad part about this statistic is that nearly all of these diseases could have been prevented by one thing: soap. HELP International is hoping to reduce the number of these deaths by building the Tippytap in the slums. The Tippytap is a revolutionary, simple idea that promotes hand washing in rural communities. The best part about this product is that anyone can make it because it is made of sticks, string, a plastic container, a nail, and a match. If you would like to learn more, please watch the video posted below. This is public health!
