Handwash Station
This hand wash station design project, undertaken with PATH’s Water, Air, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) group, came out of a project to improve WASH standards for two villages in Tanzania’s southern Mbeya district.
Sponsored by the Starbucks and Vitol foundations, and utilising PATH’s user-centered and market based design approach; the project aims to develop products to promote healthy hand washing practices within the communities.
During my involvement with the project I was involved in project planning, research design, field research, concept generation, prototyping and early development of several potential product solutions.
