Water on Tap (Build a traditional African Tippy Tap in your garden)
In the African countryside, many families do not have running water. Instead they fetch the water from a nearby well, lake or river and store it in containers for when they need to use it. Most will build a tippy tap outside their house so they can easily wash their hands without using too much water. They are a bit tricky to use at first (Miss Coleman has fallen over when trying to use one!) but once you get the hang of them they are easy to use.
