23:49, 28 January 2015 The Accessible WASH Design pages are useful for disabled, elderly, the sick, and children - all those who need special help with accessing and using sanitation facilities. It is made for use by staff, working directly with communities - e.g. health workers and community volunteers working with disabled and older people and their families in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, and beyond. Most of the ideas are suitable for disabled and older people, but are '''not only''' for them. As we get older, many of us find it increasingly difficult to squat and balance, or we might be injured or sick.
These technologies might also make facilities easier and more comfortable to use by everyone in the family. The ideas are designed to be suitable for household facilities, not for institutional facilities - e.g. schools and clinics - although some ideas might also be useful in these settings.

===Guidelines for use===
<div id="Guidelines for use"></div>
The compendium can be used in various ways:
* As a starting point for discussion with households
* As a way of encouraging communities to consider design options
* By disabled people’s organisations
* As flashcards - images can be enlarged and stuck on card
* As posters - images can be printed and used for group discussions
Technical specifications are not given, because all dimensions should be based on users’ needs. The aim is to provide as much ''independent access'' as possible - this means facilities that a person can use without help, or with minimum help. If possible, try out ideas first to work out: how high a seat or support rail should be? How wide the entrance should be? To work out how much space is needed inside a latrine, mark out the area on the ground using rocks or branches. Ask different users to try moving and squatting/sitting inside, and adjust if necessary.
Costs are not itemised because they will vary between communities. Instead, relative costs of each technology are suggested.
