Tippy Tap Journey at Woza Moya

 

Tippy Taps (TT) were first introduced to the community 6 years ago, in order to improve access to clean water for washing. Ufafa Valley is a water-scarce area, especially in the dry winter months. There is no formal water supply or sanitation. 

Faced with Covid-19, never has there been more need for them.

We focus on schools and communal meeting places and spent time educating people on the importance of washing hands, thoroughly and frequently.

Jon & Lydia

Donated their wedding to Starfish

 

 

 

 

“Such a generous gesture Jon & Lydia requesting donations instead of wedding gifts. Helping us all to look beyond ourselves and a privelege to be able to contribute whatever we can afford, knowing that every contribution makes a difference. Be blessed.”
