This manual provides guidance on implementing three template designs for WASH facilities that meet the needs of menstruators with different abilities: A Trench Latrine Block; a Raised Latrine Block; and a Bathing Block.


This information is intended to help field practitioners, in the acute initial emergency response phase of establishing facilities for crisis affected people. The template designs should not be used without being adapted to the context. The manual includes guidance on how to assess site specific constraints and adapt the designs accordingly.
