Technology Solution: promotion of hand washing practices at critical time

Technology solutions are vital. It’s appealing, adoptable and has greater acceptance, if it is innovative and done with local know how with application of simple science. All most all schools in rural areas do not have specific hand washing provision. You will find many academically good schools in cities even do not have hand washing facility. A simple hand washing solution for schools children done in the design lab workshop at Bakul Foundation. It was really good to brief young participants from countries like Estonia, Denmark, Nepal and India on water sanitation issues in slums, interact with them and learn being a part of the final presentation day in design lab workshop.

Local knowledge, and application of that knowledge in various technological adaptation shows it is not only the cup of tea of the engineers with a technical degree. Let’s promote local innovators for adopting technologies required in our day to day life.
