– Darvish Yu Water Fund: 18th project, Water for the Poor, Sharankhola Upazila, Bagerhat District, Bangladesh, is now underway!
The south-west coastal region of Bangladesh faces acute water-related challenges due to climate-induced hazards like cyclones, tidal surges, and increasing salinity.
This project will provide 500 residents of South Khali Union with year-round access to safe drinking water through community-based rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) near cyclone shelters. During disasters, sheltered populations will have immediate access to safe water. Capacity-building activities of the management committee and hygiene awareness campaigns for the community and school will enhance residents’ skills in the use and maintenance of the systems.
