How to make a Tip Tap handwashing device
Easy to make African tap for a school garden
A fun, practical challenge for pupils. They can get into groups and make their own version of this simple water conserving/hygiene device used in Africa. A great addition to your school garden and they work well next to Bag or Keyhole gardens. Links can easily be made to the DT curriculum (eg Moving toys). You can also enter the ‘Best Tip-Tap’ category in our African Gardens Competition by using the entry form contained in our kits.

How to make a fuel efficient stove
Simple mud stove design that saves wood
These stoves are used in Send a Cow training in African countries as they use less wood and take smoke away from the cook. They are also a great idea for a design project for older pupils. You can make them over the period of a few days, depending on the weather, and with a bit of supervision they can be cooking their own food on it within a week! You could also set pupils the task of designing their own versions of the stove using various different materials.

Bag Gardens
Small gardens, ideal for small hands
Bag Gardens are a type of African garden that Send a Cow teaches families how to make in Africa. They are also a great way to get your pupils involved in a growing project, and learning about healthy eating and life in an African country. These mini-gardens make the most of good soil and compost, waste water, are easy to weed and can be grown in schools - bringing a global dimension to Science. There’s also a competition that year 9 and under can enter! Use the links below for a fun explanation and resources - where you can also order a superb Bag Garden Starter Kit.
