Residents use one of the bamboo hand washing stations* that were erected to improve health care practices at entrances to hospitals, county checkpoints, and in towns — Liberia, August 2014
* The diaphragms in the upper part of the bamboo stem are perforated to create a tube that can be filled with water. A hole is drilled just above the lowest intact diaphragm, then plugged with a small stick. The plug is removed to produce a stream of water.
