A new milestone in Purbo Kurmitola 🎉

We’ve just signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the newly created Social Development Committee of Purbo Kurmitola, marking an important step toward improving access to safe drinking water in this underserved neighborhood of Dhaka. Purbo Kurmitola is the next intervention area in Bangladesh for better with water, an informal settlement of 650 households.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to developing sustainable water solutions that respond to the community’s needs and aspirations. Following the signing of the MoU, the next phase of the project will focus on designing the water distribution network and preparing for the construction works that will bring this vision to life.

Several key activities are set to begin in the coming months, including technical studies, network design, community consultations, and the start of infrastructure construction.

A significant step toward ensuring reliable and sustainable access to safe water for the residents of Purbo Kurmitola.

🌍 Today is World Environment Day.

A day to celebrate and encourage the collective efforts being made to protect our environment.
And the world needs them more than ever.

At BWW, we are convinced that change starts with awareness and action at the local level, especially among younger generations.

In 2025, our environmental awareness and waste management sessions have already recorded 3,633 attendances across the Bangladesh.

3,633 seeds planted that, we hope, will grow and help build a more sustainable future. 🌱

Last Sunday, the Better with water Bangladesh team travelled to Hafeznogor, a slum in southern Chattogram, to continue the discussions previously initiated with the community.

This slum is facing a critical water access situation that heavily impacts the daily lives of its 900 households. Residents rely on water supplied through shared pumps, but the water contains extremely high levels of iron, giving it a brown colour and potentially causing liver or kidney complications, as well as increasing the risk of diabetes. On top of this, the time and distance required to collect water are both time-consuming and a source of insecurity, particularly for women and girls.

Those who can afford it buy bottled water or purchase water from illegal vendors, but at a very high cost, turning safe drinking water into a luxury that very few can afford.

Water should not be a privilege, but a right. That is why better with water is currently on the ground, working alongside the community to explore concrete solutions and make access to safe water a reality for everyone.

Yesterday Better with water Bangladesh had the pleasure of welcoming our partner SELAVIP Foundation to visit its activities in Ta-Block.

This densely populated slum, home to 825 families, has seen a significant improvement in living conditions through the project co-funded by Selavip, which provided 150 households with access to safe water at home.
The initiative included the construction of a full water network—borehole, water tanks, and individual connections—alongside hygiene promotion sessions and civil protection activities, strengthening both health and community resilience.

The visit was also an opportunity to engage directly with community members and assess the impact of the project on their daily lives. It concluded with a visit to a neighboring slum to evaluate water access conditions, opening discussions around a potential future intervention area for better with water.

In April, better with water Bangladesh marked World Water Day with awareness activities in Chattogram and Dhaka.

The program included discussion sessions, quizzes, and leaflet distribution, focusing on the global water crisis and the importance of conserving fresh water.

In Chattogram, around 350 people participated across the four areas of intervention of better with water, while 437 people joined activities in Dhaka.

Through these initiatives, BWW highlighted that over 2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water and emphasized how something as simple as a tap at home can improve health, safety, and opportunities for education and work.

💧 World Water Day

Around the world, access to safe drinking water remains a daily challenge for more than 2 billion people.

Every day, women and girls walk for kilometers to collect water, often at the cost of their safety, health, and time.

🎯 A simple tap at home can change everything:
Give back time for learning or work
Protect health and dignity
Ensure safety away from dangerous water sources

🌙 Ramadan Mubarak

As Ramadan begins, we extend our warmest wishes to all observing this sacred month.
Ramadan is a time of reflection, gratitude, and solidarity.
It is also a reminder of the essential value of water: to break the fast, to purify, to protect health.

In the informal settlements where we work in Bangladesh, access to safe and reliable water remains a daily challenge for many families.
This month, we reaffirm our commitment: ensuring access to clean water is ensuring dignity.

Ramadan Kareem ✨
