Handwashing stations rolled out to informal settlements to help fight disease via TheCitizen_News

As frequent hand washing is recognised as one of the key ways to fight the spread of the coronavirus, two companies have come together to install more than 100 hands-free washing facilities in urban informal settlements across the country.A partnership with Environsan Sanitation Solutions and Jojo resulted in the creation of hands-free wash facilities to address school and urban informal settlements’ hygiene and sanitation challenges.

He said that Envirosan was working on the drainage solution, considering that the tanks needed to be filled up in the communities. Lewis explained that they had installed almost 200 EaziWash facilities in various parts of the country and were expected to supply a further 600 units by the end of the year.

The EaziWash stands are positioned, levelled and secured on to specially engineered precast foundation blocks that are placed below ground level and backfilled/covered thereafter.Envirosan was receiving support from private sector donors to run a project in informal settlements in the northern parts of Johannesburg.
