Making decisions as a WASH practitioner can be particularly challenging under the time pressures of an emergency.

To address some of these challenges, we have funded projects that offer better clarity on particular aspects of WASH and to make it easier for practitioners – particularly those working with small NGOs or as individual aid workers – to find relevant technical support.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

Visit to our Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) home to find out more about how we identify the most pressing humanitarian challenges in WASH and design innovation challenges to find and support the right solutions.
Safe Water

Providing safe water to drink is essential for public health in emergencies. Without safe water, infectious diseases including hepatitis E, cholera and other diarrhoeal diseases can quickly spread causing suffering and loss of life.
Hygiene

Good hygiene practices have proven central to saving lives and reducing suffering during humanitarian crises. It is a vital area of WASH that our proven innovations can provide solutions to.

We are a force for change. Join the conversation...
