N4BW has built numerous toilets of the long drop design, sometimes called pit latrines and in Malawi known as chimbudzi. These have been built in the grounds of schools, churches and other community venues. To encourage hand washing after use tippy taps are created and positioned near to the toilet. Many schools operate a rota system to ensure that hand washing water is readily available and the tippy tap water containers are constantly refilled
