Koffi Antoine, a cocoa farmer in Cote d'Ivoire, noticed most of the illnesses that affected his village stemmed from poor handwashing. In response, he created a handwashing device made out of wood and bamboo for his community to use.

The village-wide use of Antoine's invention has caused a big drop in hygiene-related illnesses.
