This project aims to achieve an overarching goal of improving WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) security for 150,000 climate vulnerable community members in the south west coastal area of Bangladesh through provision of greater access to clean water, improved sanitation and hygiene practices through effective, appropriate and scalable climate resilient WASH technologies in communities, schools and health care centers.

Key Challenges:

  • Implementation cost is high in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Good quality staff is difficult to be retained in these areas.
  • Chances of countering natural disasters are high.
  • Electricity is not fully available yet, which is required for smooth operation of the water technologies.
