Supertowel
Supertowel™ is a novel handwashing tool, that provides clean hands with little water and no soap
Handwashing is one of the most important and efficient public health interventions known to man. Every year, 1.8 million children dies before their fifth birthday because of diarrheal diseases and pneumonia. Handwashing is among the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent these diseases. Handwashing potentially cuts diarrheal diseases by almost one-half and acute respiratory infections by nearly one-quarter. SDGs - contributes to improved sanitation, zero hunger, good health, quality education and equality. Supertowel™ is designed with a permanently bonded antimicrobial technology. When wetted and rubbed against the hands, the pathogens will be transferred to the towel and killed. Supertowel™ offers access to easy and efficient handwashing wherever, whenever. Supertowel™ replaces huge amounts of soap and water over the lifetime of the product (estimated to last at least one year). In a humanitarian setting Supertowel™ offers huge savings on soap, water and distribution.
