The word "Canari" in western Africa names a traditional vessel made of clay. Jacques Vanhercke used one of those traditional container to invent the "Canacla" (For "Canari" plus "Clapet", which means "valve" in french). It's indeed because of a valve and of a thin hose which simply goes through the wall of the canari that the water gently flows out the Canacla, right when your wrists open the valve by lifting up the lever (Therefore : Your hands don't touch anything !) | The word "Canari" in western Africa names a traditional vessel made of clay.

Thrifty water point to make your children love washing their hands
Thrifty water point to make your children love washing their hands
lavage des mains, eau, hygiène
This tiny water point entirely made of recuperation materials allows children to wash their hands in the most thrifty, self-directed and hygienic way.
Instead of turning on the tap and using a lot of water, your child will lift a lever with his/her own wrists and use a water trickle, just enough to wet her/his hands and rince them.
Inspiration : This system was freely inspired by the "CANACLA", made with clay in Dakar (http://canacla.com/blog/?page_id=115).

A quoi ça sert ?
Ce point d'eau peut être installé dans des toilettes qui ne disposent pas de lavabo, dans une salle de bain ou dans la cuisine (fixé au mur).
On peut également l'utiliser en extérieur, dans un jardin mais aussi lors d'animation ou évènements sur l'espace public (fête de l'école, atelier cuisine ou travaux manuels...). Il est alors accroché à un arbre ou à un lampadaire à l'aide de lacets. On peut ainsi facilement ajuster sa hauteur à la taille des enfants.Récupérer 3 lattes transversales de cagette, les redécouper (1 petite/2 grandes) et les positionner pour faire un levier en forme de T (environ 25cm de long). Coller.
Selon l'endroit où on souhaite installer le point d'eau, on peut ajouter un récipient (cuvette, seau ou saladier...) muni d'un tuyau en guise de "lavabo". On peut également recueillir l'eau sale dans un seau pour arroser des plantes ou nettoyer des toilettes sèches (dans notre cas).
Il est aussi possible d'"habiller" le petit point d'eau afin de cacher les bouteilles et de le rendre ainsi esthétique. Un "coffrage" en cagette sera facile à faire et assez joli.
