Safe Water and Latrines for Bangladeshi Slum
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesMore than 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Unsafe drinking water is the #1 killer of children under the age of 5, and delays economic development. In the Pallabi slum, the 4,000 residents often resort to retrieving daily water from illegal connections to the city’s water supply, construction sites, mosques, or contaminated drainage ditches. The lack of access to safe drinking water is compounded by poor hygiene habits and water-related diseases continue to rise. ActivitiesConstruct underground water reservoir with connections to Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority water mains; hand pumps and drainage facilities; sanitation block with pit latrines; and septic tank.
