Features:

• 24 litre water reservoir and a separate 4 litre tank for soapy water - to give over 200 hand washes per fill.
• Self-closing taps are smooth to use, and provide the low water-saving flow required.
• Large mirrors are a draw, bringing people to the stand and encouraging them to wash for longer.
• Draining through a waste water tube
• Wide spaced legs - to allow a soak-away to be dug for drainage
• The kit is supplied as a compact box of six units which can be added to a stack of latrine slabs (as the dimensions are the same) or provided as a stack of four boxes on a pallet for standard air freight.

In sanitation projects much money and time is spent on the provision of latrines but for too long the provision of acceptable hand washing facilities has been an after-thought. Poor quality, improvised and unreliable methods are still commonly used, even though it is widely known that hand washing with soap has a huge positive effect to public health.

The Oxfam Handwashing Stand with the bright colours and distinct design aims to give a better, more hygienic and dignified experience for the user while being robust enough to survive in the humanitarian context.
