Clean Water for All – Dacope, Bangladesh
In the climate-vulnerable coastal region of Dacope Upazila, Khulna, increasing salinity has severely limited access to safe drinking water, impacting health, livelihoods, and daily life.
Through the Clean Water for All initiative, a Pond Sand Filter (PSF) has been installed in Parjyanagar village, currently providing safe drinking water to approximately 400 people daily.
The project follows a community-centered and integrated approach, combining safe water access with hygiene awareness, menstrual health education, and a free medical camp to strengthen overall public health outcomes.
A pre- and post-intervention assessment indicates improved access to safe drinking water, reduced health risks, and increased community awareness on hygiene and health practices.
The project was officially inaugurated on 23 March 2026, with the participation of local and national stakeholders, ensuring strong community ownership and long-term sustainability.
