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).
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 !)
Interest by this concept, we thought about an easy to make solution, that our 3 years old son could also use on his own. Though we built this system with wastes gathered around our neighbourhood (plastic bottles, wooden boxes, battens, etc.). We replaced the valve with a crimped hose to make the whole system even easier to build.
What can I use it for ?
This water point can be installed in your bathroom, if it doesn't have a sink, or in your kitchen (mounted on the wall).
It can also be used outside, in a garden and also during local events, like a school fête for example. It can then be hung to a tree or a streetlight with straps. Its height can then easiliy be adjusted to the one of children.
1 wooden box
1 plastic bottle
1 wooden batten
1 small wooden plank (6x8 cm - 2,37x3,15 inch)
1 piece of iron wire
1 thin silicone tube (ex : baby nose cleaner, breast pump ...)
1 elastic
1 big nail (7 to 8 cm - 2,75 to 3,14 inch)
A few screws
1 agrafe
Marteau, tournevis, vrille, scie à bois, cutter
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.
