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 ✨

We are proud to announce the commissioning of a new drinking water network in Ta-Block, a major step forward for residents of this neighborhood that has long been without safe and reliable access to water.

This network was fully designed and built by better with water, primarily funded by the SELAVIP Foundation and Manos Unidas. It is supplied both by the municipal water operator and by a borehole, ensuring continuous access to water even in the event of service interruptions from the operator.

The infrastructure includes two complementary storage systems — an underground reservoir and an elevated water tower — as well as a distribution network directly connected to homes. To date, 93 people have already signed up for a water access contract, and more than 70 connections have been installed and are operational.

At the same time, better with water Bangladesh continues its awareness sessions on hand hygiene, water hygiene, and civil protection.

These actions strengthen the knowledge and capacities of Ta-Block residents, making them more resilient and better informed on essential health and risk prevention topics.

Today is , a reminder that 40% of the world — over 3.5 billion people — still lacks access to safely managed sanitation services.
Here’s a striking fact: more people worldwide have access to a mobile phone than to a toilet.

At better with water, we have been committed since day one to expanding access to safe and dignified sanitation — because safe sanitation is a human right, and no one should be left behind.

📢 About a month ago, we began construction on a brand-new water network — an exciting milestone for the community of Ralli Moholla in Chattogram.

Ralli Moholla, a dense neighbourhood of 223 households, currently faces extremely restricted access to water. Most families rely on limited, collective water points provided by the local operator, which means long waits, uncertainty, and very little control over their daily access to this essential resource.

But change is already underway. The construction work is moving incredibly fast — you can see progress every single day. Right now, the new overhead water tank is taking shape, marking the first major piece of this future network. Once the tank is complete, we will begin drilling the borehole, ensuring continuous and reliable water supply for the community.

This new system will allow better with water to deliver clean, safe, and dependable water directly to the residents of Ralli Moholla. In the near future, this will mean improved health, more stability, and greater dignity for hundreds of families.

We are thrilled to see this project advancing so quickly — and even more excited for the moment when the first households are finally connected to a sustainable water source.
