A Tippy Tap is a hands-free device to help stop the spread of disease and infections. These are especially useful in rural areas without running water. By using a foot lever to pour out the water, the possibility of transmission of bacteria and pathogens is significantly reduced. Here is a short instruction video to show you how to make one.


Self Help Africa is working with communities across Africa to help them fight the spread of diseases. Self Help Africa is working with our local teams, local partners, with government ministries and UN agencies to support efforts to disseminate information, promote safety measures, and curb the COVID-19 pandemic in the countries where we work.

Most projects are continuing with modifications, to deliver training and input provision to ensure physical distancing. COVID-19 specific awareness raising and prevention is being included in all training, with hand-washing facilities/sanitisers being provided for staff, partners, and smallholders at aggregation centres and cooperatives.
