If left unchecked, fire ants will swarm across 95% of Australia and devastate our wildlife, economy, and communities. To protect our way of life, decision-makers in parliament need to hear from you, and thousands of others telling them it should be a priority.

It’s very difficult to wash your hands regularly with soap and running fresh water if you don’t have a tap.

Now, a RAWCS - Rotary Australia World Community Service project, Hand Hygiene For Health and SPATAP Portable Tap, is tackling this problem in the Pacific.

In 2012, Stuart Mason, a member of the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads, Rotary District 9600, stumbled across an idea when he picked up a bottle of warm water from the boot of his car to wash his hands and half the contents ended up on the ground.
After much trial and error, Stuart developed a system called SPATAP Portable Tap, which enables handwashing and personal hygiene with limited water supplies, and yet is very portable and simple to use. A silicone fitting transforms any bottle or container made of plastic, glass or metal into a flow-controllable tap that can dispense water in three different ways depending on the user’s needs.

The Hand Hygiene for Health handwashing project has already proved its worth in many underdeveloped schools in the South Pacific, but the need is great and there are many more schools that need our help. There are requests from communities across the Pacific to access this simple technology, especially now during the current COVID-19 crisis.

Within Australia, the system has huge potential to address diseases like trachoma and diarrhoea in remote communities, where access to taps and water is very limited.
