The first prototype was field tested with refugee populations in Liberia and Kenya to assess its suitability at both household and communal levels. Following this study, the device was modified and field trialled a second time in South Sudan. The South Sudan study looked specifically at the device’s durability at the communal level where it was most likely to be exposed to a significant number of users; notably in schools, next to communal latrines, and food stalls in the marketplace. Following this study, the device was modified and trialled in DRC based on overall feedback and it is now ready for use in emergency contexts.
