Hygiene Needs of Incontinence Sufferers

This report documents the findings of a WaterAid and SHARE-funded desk-based review on how WASH actors can better address the hygiene needs of people living with urinary and/or faecal incontinence in developing countries. Conducted by Chelsea Giles-Hansen, a public health/WASH consultant, in late 2015, the report outlines what incontinence is, how people generally manage their incontinence, experiences/guidance from within the development and humanitarian settings, and provides recommendations on how to better support the hygiene and WASH needs of those suffering from incontinence.
