OXFAM Bangladesh – Refugee Sanitation Management
See how Kaz Software built an AI-powered sanitation management system predicting maintenance needs across 15,000+ latrines in refugee camps.
Managing sanitation in refugee settlements isn’t just logistics—it’s life-saving infrastructure. OXFAM needed a predictive system that could anticipate maintenance needs, prevent overflows, and protect the health and dignity of thousands living in extreme conditions.
The Need
OXFAM required an AI-driven sanitation management platform to move from reactive to predictive fecal sludge operations in UNHCR refugee camps.
• Digitize and monitor 15,000+ latrines across multiple camps
• Predict maintenance needs using spatial AI models
• Enable offline data collection for field teams
• Optimize resource allocation for desludging operations
The Solution
We built a digital sanitation management system that transforms how OXFAM oversees fecal sludge operations across UNHCR refugee camps. The platform centralizes data for 15,000+ latrines, tracks servicing history, monitors real-time conditions, and schedules maintenance so field teams always know which facilities require action. This eliminates both missed latrines and unnecessary servicing, shifting operations from manual, reactive management to structured, data-driven oversight.
A custom spatial AI model predicts desludging needs using historical records, mobile data, population density, and seasonal patterns—allowing OXFAM to plan maintenance proactively and optimize routes for desludging teams. A Flutter-based Android app supports offline field reporting with photos and task updates, while a Laravel/MySQL web dashboard provides managers real-time coverage views, alerts, performance metrics, and donor-ready reports. The system now supports sanitation services for over 10,000 camp residents, improving public health and operational efficiency.
The Challenge
Predicting latrine maintenance in high-density refugee camps required not just machine learning but deep field understanding and system resilience under extreme conditions.
The Partnership
Our collaboration with OXFAM combined humanitarian expertise with deep technology innovation. Together, we mapped desludging operations, digitized workflows, and trained spatial AI models that forecast sanitation needs before they become crises.
Built with Flutter, Laravel, and MySQL, the platform integrates mobile data from field teams with AI-driven analytics, enabling real-time visibility, predictive scheduling, and data-informed resource planning that safeguards health across refugee communities.
