Stephen Wamukota
Stephen Wamukota is a nine-year-old Kenyan boy who made a wooden hand-washing machine to aid in the fight against COVID-19. In recognition of his work, he received a presidential award. He was named by President Uhuru Kenyatta as a recipient of the Uzalendo Award.
Wamukota came up with the idea after learning on TV about ways to prevent catching the virus. He created a hand-washing machine that helps users clean their hands without touching it, thereby minimizing any possible contact with the disease during the process.
