The clever commode

Yes that’s right, these toilets are a smart idea. When set up in refugee camps and disaster relief areas, these emergency latrines not only reduce the risk of disease, they give people the dignity they deserve.

How does this gift help?

Oxfam Australia works across the globe, helping people survive disasters and rebuild their lives once the danger has subsided. With this gift, you are helping us provide plastic latrines, clean drinking water and washing facilities, to prevent the spread of disease during emergencies in places like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. “The latrine units are set away from the tents, and we install pumps to distribute water round the camp. In [one] camp alone, it will provide clean safe water and sanitation for 5,000 people.” Shazada Kamarzeb, Oxfam water engineer
