The Oxfam Handwashing Station (OHS) has been designed through a collaborative process with designers, behavioural architects, public health professionals, and rigorously field tested and improved based on the feedback of users. In 2021, the OHS was tested at scale, with 4000 kits distributed across nine different countries. Initial findings show that the OHS actively promotes handwashing, with a 30% increase in observed handwashing behaviour when compared to handwashing devices available prior to installation of the OHS.
The Oxfam Handwashing Station and Handwashing Tap are available from the Oxfam Supply Centre
