Since the Coronavirus started to take over the world, we have seen numerous innovative creations from people around the world to help curb the spread of the virus. We saw the “Coronaoven” by a Bengaluru-based startup and also saw a seventh-grader make a robotic sanitizer dispenser. Now, a 9-year-old from a village of Kenya has received the Presidential Award for his innovative wooden hand-washing machine.

His father, James Wamukota said, “I had bought some pieces of wood to make a window frame, but when I came back home after work one day I found that Stephen had made the machine. The concept was his and I helped tighten the machine. I’m very proud.”.
