The Start
It all began when the COVID-19 outbreak hit Ghana, prompting the need for solutions to combat the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The hub conducted a nationwide survey on alcohol-based hand sanitizers and discovered that most of the sanitizers available during the peak of the pandemic were ineffective against microbes.
As an alternative, the hub turned to promoting handwashing as the best solution. However, they identified a problem with the existing handwashing facility known as the “Veronica Buckets.” These buckets posed a risk of spreading infections because people had to use their hands to open and close the taps before and after washing their hands.
To address this issue, the hub came up with an innovative solution – the SabaWash. This foot-operated handwashing device was one of the first of its kind and inspired many artisans across the country to produce similar devices. Additionally, the hub also developed the SabaMultiWash, a foot-operated multiple handwashing device that could accommodate 2, 3, or 4 people at the same time. This device was specifically designed for schools, churches, mosques, public gatherings, and other similar settings. Furthermore, they designed the Saba Dispenser, a foot-operated sanitizer and soap dispenser.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our products were widely distributed throughout Ghana. The hub played a crucial role in designing and promoting these innovative solutions to ensure proper hand hygiene practices across the country.
