SAFE AGUA: ReLava Kitchen Workstation

ReLava is an inexpensive kitchen workstation that makes it sanitary, efficient and dignified for families living without running water to wash dishes indoors. It is composed of a sink for soaking, rinsing and cleaning dishes; a drain for reusing water; and a drying rack. The design repurposes two affordable 16-liter plastic tubs into sink basins, which are held by a collapsible wire frame that hangs from the wall.
