Our company designs and manufactures devices for washing and maintaining hygiene in conditions of lack of access to running water. Our mission is to provide access to basic hygiene standards in conditions where stationary solutions become unreliable or are absent. We believe that we are able to provide the best portable, water-saving, and convenient devices ensuring complete personal hygiene together with more advanced features such as touch-free hand washing.

The Sanitation Learning Hub
United Kingdom 

We are a learning and research programme focused on sanitation and hygiene in low and lower-middle income countries. Our vision is that everyone realises their right to safely managed sanitation and hygiene – making sure no one is left behind in the drive to end open defecation for good. We are committed to eliminating discrimination and to embedding and supporting equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, in our work and in all our activities including recruitment and selection.
