Our RTT prototype site at CEPT University incorporates and promotes hand hygiene. With an interior wash basin in the alpha prototype cabin, and a sink available beside the exterior urinals, we are promoting best practices. Facilities, soap, and water are a must in any new toilet installations. It is a crime to not plan them in. These are life-saving features and key parts of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs.
The use of soap is necessary to more effectively prevent disease. Millions of children under the age of five years old die from diarrheal diseases around the world. Hand washing with soap could prevent about 1 out of every 3 episodes of diarrheal illnesses.
