MREMBO
The project aims to spread hand hygiene in rural Kenyan households by engaging local manufacturers.
The Mrembo (Beautiful One) is a hand washing station which has been developed for use in rural Kenyan households. It will be manufactured by local Kenyan plastic manufacturers, and pilot tested on site in the near future. Mrembo will be the first industrially produced hand washing product in the Kenyan market. Maximum uptake of the product is ensured by its value adding features like incorporated mirror, sink, water outlet, filter and soap dish to change people's attitudes towards hand sanitation while saving water.
