World Vision-installed bamboo tippy taps help prevent COVID-19 at distributions

After Category 5, Tropical Cyclone Harold hit Vanuatu on 6 April 2020, World Vision provided essential relief items to affected communities and implemented COVID-19 prevention measures. Some 182 bamboo tippy taps, a Vanuatu innovation, were installed at distribution sites and in communities to promote hand washing and 3,398 COVID-19 prevention and ending violence brochures were distributed. 

COVID-19 messaging packs were generously funded by UKAID through Start Fund and the Government of Canada through the Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Fund.
