In the Mirpur slums, lack of clean water and basic sanitation can cause severe health problems and even death. CARE Bangladesh is building latrines and a water point to help prevent these problems.
The Bangladesh Clean Water Fund helps school children get access to clean water and proper sanitation, and this helps children stay healthy so they can stay in school and learn.
This project aims to create awareness among young people on how important it is to preserve the environment and maintain environmental cleanliness for the smooth running of a country and healthy living. The project operates in 3 stages:
1. EnviLearning - 2 day workshop (includes speakers, paper recycling and food composting workshop)
2. EnviVolunteerism - field trip (eg.Lake Clean-up)
3. EnviOutcomes - Mentorship program and grant award to the winning participant team for their own project
We are using a sustainable model to improve the lives of millions affected by the devastating conditions of landfill environments. By providing waste-pickers with a more efficient method for waste collection, em[POWER] will give waste-pickers the necessary resources to lift themselves out of poverty. In addition, a community of 2,000 waste-pickers living in Matuail Landfill, Bangladesh need better health care, education, opportunities for economic development, and access to electricity.
