Pleasant, safe & effective

Sinks need to be a delight to use, conveniently located, and easy to maintain.

A handwashing sink with a social mission

HappyTap helps schools and daycares across America deploy high impact, modular facilities to achieve consistent and improving handwashing.

But most of our work is overseas, equipping schools and health clinics with lifesaving handwashing facilities. As a social business, all our revenues enable our efforts in low-income settings: from Madagascar to Kenya, and Bangladesh to Cambodia – we’re serving more than a dozen countries in partnership with organizations including UNICEF, the World Food Program, World Vision, and many others.

Convenient sinks help bring handwashing behaviour to life. Real impact.

Many teachers and daycare workers have written to us that not only has HappyTap made their lives a lot easier (taking students one-by-one to the bathroom to wash for 20 seconds each used to be a massive time burden), but it’s created a learning opportunity about global hygiene. Students and teachers alike can learn about the lack of handwashing facilities around the world, and how that contributes to over half a million child-deaths every year. According to UNCEF, around 818 million children lack basic handwashing facilities at their schools.

Next-generation sinks are behavioral nudges

Behavioral science, design & testing has led to simple, yet groundbreaking portable sinks that are convenient to use. Daycares and schools use them as highly visible behaviour change tools.

Instant setup with no plumbing required

Specially-designed low-flow nozzle: With its water-saving design, the 4.5 gallon tank allows 50-70 washes per water fill. The water flow is intentionally less than a standard pressurized tap, but it’s perfect for kids handwashing (and less splashy). It also means water doesn’t need to be refilled frequently—typically once a day per classroom.

Completely stand-alone system offers true portability: Piping conventional sinks in classrooms is a headache: construction, paperwork, capital budget, months of waiting… Skip all that with portable facilities that offer immediate benefits with low risk.

Practical & affordable

• Deploy anywhere needed within minutes
• Adhere to official handwashing guidance with little-to-no capital investment
• Durable construction means expected to last 7-10 years

High quality, beautifully molded components:

Fresh water tank: With a 4.5 gallon (18L) water capacity, this tank offers enough water for about 50-70 washes per refill. Yet it’s light enough to be carried easily, even by children. The low-flow tap has six nozzles for a comfortable wash without wasting water.

Base and catchment tray: The durable base catches the water from handwashing and leads the greywater to the plastic tube below. A soap dish placed in the center serves as a visual reminder for kids to use soap.

Water tank lid: The lid keeps the water inside clean, preventing any debris or in some places, mosquitoes.

Drainage tube and elbow connector: Connect the elbow joint and tube to the base in order to drain greywater to a jerrycan (not included), to a flower bed, or other existing drainage option.

Enabling kids to wash in schools around the world

It’s not enough to provide sinks only in bathrooms. Why?

Because it’s not enough to wash hands only after using the toilet.

Safety requires hand washing in more places and more times. Pioneering schools and daycares are changing where sinks are placed to ensure hygiene compliance throughout the day at vital locations like building entrances, eating areas and classrooms.
