Helping Africa

In Room Five we have been learning about the water problem in Africa. Did you know that half of the world's hospital beds are filled with people suffering from a water-related disease, that means because they don't have clean water they get really sick! Just Washing hands with soap and water helps lessen diarrhea deaths by more than 40%
Room Five think they should become a social organisation that help the people in Africa get enough water to wash their hands.
We are going to create a device that will work in Africa to wash a families hands for one day. That means less trips to the well and more time for education.
The device must........

• Have soap 
• Have water 
• It must be able to work in Africa 
• It must have a container that will hold at least a liter of water 
• It must be cost effective- People in Africa will not have much money 
• It needs to have somewhere for the excess water to go

We have done some research and have come up with a rather cool device. Keep watching this space to find out what it is.
