This briefing paper, presented at the 36th annual WEDC Conference in Kenya, written by leaders from Messiah College, describes the findings, recommendations and guidelines for inclusive WASH development gleaned from experience with the Africa WASH & Disabilities Study (AWDS). The AWDS seeks to facilitate access to WASH installations through modifications of existing WASH installations (e.g. hand-pumps, pump superstructures, latrines and laundry aprons) as well as through the development of simple, low-cost assistive WASH technologies (e.g. latrine seats and chairs).
