Povu Poa Handwashing Station
All-in-one soap dispenser and hand washing station.
Handwashing with soap can eliminate disease-causing bacteria and viruses, yet many low-resource communities lack access to proper handwashing stations. When a station is available, the soap is susceptible to theft. The Povu Poa is a low-cost, water frugal handwashing station that improves handwashing for low resource communities around the world. Developed with Tufts University, USAID, and Innovations for Poverty Action, the system incorporates a secured, foaming hand soap dispenser and a water efficient foot pump to drastically reduce the ongoing costs of water and soap, improving consistent handwashing.
