Akyas [أكياس] is an Arabic word for bags. They offer individual toilet bags as a portable waste treatment system. They put an entire expensive wastewater treatment plant into a single bag that is affordable, adaptable and portable. AKYAS was founded with the aim to reduce mortality and morbidity from diarrheal diseases in areas where people lack proper sanitation. They offer alternative sanitation solutions composed of a single-use biodegradable bag that isolates human waste from flowing to the environment, a mineral powder that rapidly kills pathogen in feces, transforming it into safe organic fertilizer, and a hand sanitizer that eliminates the use of water yet maintains hand hygiene.

The Participatory Slum Upgrading Programme program focuses on the biggest deprivations for slum communities: the lack of adequate and safe housing conditions, clean water supply, sanitation and secure land tenure. It concentrates on waste management, gender equality and human rights, climate resilience and participation of the local communities in the slum upgrading process. It engages a wide range of stakeholders in the process of slum upgrading: local communities, national and local governments, financial partners as well as key stakeholders from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations, private sector and academia.
