Turkey and Syria earthquake: evidence-based innovations and guidance for acute crisis response.
We are Elrha, a force for change in the humanitarian community. The research and innovation we support equips the humanitarian community with the knowledge of what works, so people affected by crises get the right help when they need it most.
Our purpose is clear: to empower the humanitarian community to improve humanitarian response. We make this happen by supporting and championing the outcomes of robust research and proven innovations.
We empower the humanitarian community. Find out how we can support you...

What do those working in WASH – the funders, innovators and practitioners – think about the sector?

Our Voices of WASH share their thoughts on the importance of innovation, what funders are looking for and what the future holds for the WASH community.

We talk to our very own Anna Skeels as well as Sian White (LSHTM), Torben Holm Larsen (Real Relief / SuperTowel project), Imran Ali (York University / Safe Water for Refugees project), Chris Houston (Grand Challenges Canada), Claire Furlong (IHE Delft / Tiger Worm Toilet project) and Mauricio Cordova (FairCap / FairCap project)

These interviews were recorded at the launch of our Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Innovation Catalogue.
