Hi everyone,

The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) has just launched a new innovation challenge to improve handwashing practices in emergency settings. We're looking for the most promising ideas from teams who we will invite to our innovation sprint event in the UK at the end of June 2016. Following the event, all teams will have the opportunity to apply for grant funding of up to £200,000.

We have identified three areas which each address a different theme within handwashing;

#LoveCleanHands - changing behaviour through hygiene promotion
#ReimagineSoap - developing soap alternatives
#BetterFacilities - designing better handwashing facilities

Head to our website to find our challenge videos, handbook and everything you need to know about the process, what we're looking for and how to apply. Wash-challenge.org

To be in the running to attend our innovation sprint event in June and apply for funding, submit your ideas to us by 21 MAY 2016.

Happy to answer any questions on this forum!

Best wishes,
Menka
