__NOTOC__
The Tippy Tap is a simple device for hand washing with running water. A container of 5 liter with a small hole near the cap is filled with water and tipped with a stick and rope tied trough a hole in the cap. As only the soap is touched with the hands, the device is very hygienic. A gravel bed is used to soak away the water and prevent mosquitos.
Different models are being used, all under the name "Tippy Tap".
===Suitable conditions===
Recommended to install in schools and family houses next to the latrine.
