__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.
When the container is empty, the cap is unscrewed and the container is removed from the stick. The container is then filled again, and reassembled.
