According to the source, handwashing facilities in schools refer to any infrastructure (fixed or mobile) that enables students to wash their hands effectively using running water from piped water with taps, sink with tap, water tank with tap, bucket with tap, and tippy tap among others. A shared bucket used for dipping hands is not considered an effective handwashing facility.
