 Description
The
water is stored in the top container which releases the
water into the tube. If you undo the lid which will let
the water flow into the second container, then you wash
you hands by putting your hands in each side of the sticks.
When you are finished washing your hands, pull the Plug
and the left overs can water the environment.
 Why
do children need to wash their hands?
Children
all around the world need to wash their hands because
of all the diseases going round especially in Papua New
Gunea. Did you know that 1 out of 5 get sick or die from
diseases from the bush or their natural environment?

·
Effectiveness
It's
a clear and straight forward design. Have you thought
of ways of limiting the amount of water that comes out
of the top tank with each hand wash.
·
Durability
It
appears that the supporting columns are undersized. Have
you filled it with water?
·
User-friendliness
Good
user-friendly design.
·
Communication
The
photo illustrates the design well. Some information about
how the water is kept in the top tank and how it is released
is necessary for building.

The
water is stored in a separate container, which is attached
to the roof to collect the rainwater. When you need to
wash your hands, you collect the rainwater from the container
and pour a small amount into the top of the tube. There
is a built in filter, which will filter all the water.
The
next stage is to pull the piece of wood out until all
the water is out. In that piece of wood is a small groove;
this is where the Manuka oil will sit, when the water
mixes with it. You the wash your hands in the bowl at
the bottom. When you have finished there is a small tube,
pull that out and the access water will go into the environment.
We
believe it is very important to wash your hands as you
may catch a disease and that can lead to very serious
consequences. As a result of not washing hands, 1 in every
5 children die. We hope our project can help the people
of Papua New Guinea to live better, cleaner lives.

Effectiveness
It's
a clear and straight forward design. Will the water flow
sufficiently slowly through the system to allow both hands
to be washed with one dose of water?
·
Durability
There
is insufficient information to comment on how long the
system would last eg are the joints strong enough to take
some bumping while the children wash their hands?
·
User-friendliness
Good
user-friendly design.
·
Communication
The
photo illustrates the design well. Some information about
how the pieces are joined together would help somebody
else to build it.
