Portable sinks hand washing breakthrough for children in South Africa

Hand washing becomes an important part of learning

Children at the Lorraine Primary School enjoy using their brightly coloured KiddiSynk units when washing their hands – with clean water.

They are learning to wash their hands during the day, particularly before mealtimes and after going to the toilet.

Effective, efficient hand washing – needing comparatively little water

And because the highly portable KiddiSynk can be with them right there in the classroom, it minimises disruption time. The  KiddiSynk is perfect for areas where water is in short supply, using comparatively small amounts, whilst still delivering a high quality hand wash.

The handwash facilities at the School previously consisted of a bucket which was filled with water from a tap located a distance from the classrooms.

Having a KiddiSynk in each classroom has made it possible for more effective hand wash habits to be established.
