Stuart Mason, on September 26th, gave a presentation to the Rotary Club of Manchester, on his invention, the SPATAP. It is a way of introducing hand washing into environments where people do not have access to taps.
Stuart pointed out to us that in a developed country has, on average, 20-40 water outlets per home and meanwhile, 2.4 billion people do not clean water (UNICEF), making it 1 in 9 people not having access to clean water. It is also estimated that 443 million school days are lost to water related illnesses.
The Rotary Club of Manchester has just completed a water project in Ghana to provide clean drinking water to the community of Fievie Dugame. Hygiene is an import aspect of this project and we felt that SPATAP may be a way forward for other communities in Fievie and schools where there is no tap available close by.
It was interesting to see how such a simple device is so effective.
We had many guests, from other Rotary Clubs, to see this inspiring talk.
