Description

Tap into good health. This gift equips communities with the skills to build their own "tippy tap" - a simple device that enables hand washing, and significantly helps to reduce the spread of disease. It also includes training in other important health and hygiene issues to help keep communities healthy.

How your gift helps

A 'tippy tap' outside the family toilet is dramatically reducing the incidence of diarrhoea in areas where clean water is scarce. This simple set-up enables families to wash their hands - an effective way of decreasing the spread of disease.

TEAR's Christian partner Oasis Mozambique has been teaching women involved in their Self-Help Groups how to make their own 'tippy taps' from cut-down jerry cans. They have also been sharing important hygiene messages which the women can pass on to their own communities and keep themselves and their children in good health.

Your gift of a tippy tap is contributing to projects like this one and making a difference in the lives of those facing poverty and marginalisation.
