water supply as social business
In Sundarbans region of Bangladesh, saline water is everywhere with limited fresh water sources. The coastal people have to depend on rainwater. They store water in plastic tank and traditional mud made pots in the monsoon which is not sufficient for them to drink for the whole year. In the summer, there is hardly any rain. As a result, rivers, canals and ponds become dry. Extreme water crisis appears then.
To serve the pure and safe drinking water to the coastal people Bangladesh Environment and development Society (BEDS) introduce a water treatment plant which purifies the water by reverse osmosis and for doing that we use the solar energy. More than 1200 coastal families of these unions are getting safe drinking water. This water not only serves their drinking purpose but also many people take this water supply as a social business. Local people are now free from the anxiety of safe drinking water crisis.
We would like to thank all our donors for their amazing and continuous support for the coastal deprived people. We are requesting all our donors to start monthly recurring donation by clicking the following link;

Drop of love
For a healthy life pure and safe drinking water is must. Every form life on earth depends in water. In short water is life but this term life is also related with safe drinking water. In the coastal region of Bangladesh many people suffer a lot for drinking water.
The water of this area is very salty. Most of the sources of water can’t be used for drink. Excess salinity, lack of propre water management and river embankment is the causes of the drinking water scarcity. When any natural disaster like cyclone or flood comes, the salty river water enters into the fresh water reserves like pond. Salinity causes cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
To serve the pure and safe drinking water to the coastal people Bangladesh Environment and development Society (BEDS) introduce a water treatment plant which purify the water by reverse osmosis and for doing that we use the solar energy. Coastal people can collect the water from our BANOJIBI campus. This water not only serve their drinking purpose but also many people take this water supply as a social business. It helps them to make smile on their face and their family.

Water jar Distribution
Our targeted area Banisanta union, Dacope upazila, Khulna is very near to the Bay of Bengal. The whole village is surrounded by river. The water of this river is very salty. Most of the houses have a pond but during high tide this salty water enters into these ponds. So villagers cannot use this water for house hold purpose. There is also scarcity of safe drinking water. Most of the local community reserve rain water for drinking and other house hold works but it is not enough for whole year. In dry season people faces many problem to collect the fresh water. They have to collect water from a far distance. And transportation of this water also create a challenge for them some of them don’t have jar for carrying and store water.
For solving this problem Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) take an initiative to distribute water jar to the villagers. We distribute 200 water jars on the basis of their need to the villagers to solve their problem. This jar can contain 20 liters of water. But this is not enough for a families drinking water need. We want to distribute more water jar to the villagers.
