Sani Tweaks
Research shows that many emergency latrines are not used by the people they are intended for.
Sani Tweaks is about simple changes that can fix this: consulting users, modifying latrines, and providing sanitation as a service, not a one-off installation.
Innovation
Collectively, the WASH team have an acknowledged reputation in the sector for research and development initiatives. We also have a long history of developing products which are now used by many agencies, including the Jerry Bucket, steel water tanks and handwashing stand.
We also work to develop new approaches including how to measure quality in humanitarian responses, tiger worm toilets and solar powered water pumping
Our Strategy
Oxfam aims to be the leading player in humanitarian WASH by:
- demonstrating rapid and high quality emergency response,
- influencing the WASH sector with evidence of our effectiveness,
- supporting community resilience in disaster prone and fragile contexts and
- enhancing national capacity to improve WASH coverage for the most vulnerable.
Supply Centre
All humanitarian agencies can access Oxfam's equipment from the Oxfam Supply Centre. The website includes all specifications and instruction manuals for our kit.
