LIFT Project 01: Reverse Osmosis plant for safe drinking water under LIFT Program
Background of the project:
Scarcity of safe drinking water is a major problem in southern districts of Bangladesh. Water Scarcity increase mostly during dry season in this area almost the working areas have not any underground water layer to collect sweet water. So, people of this area drink water from pond, Khal and other unhygienic sources. As a result, they suffered from serious water borne diseases like cholera, Typhoid, Blood dysentery etc. To address this situation with the assistance of Palli Karma-Shayak Foundation (PKSF), UNNAYAN pure drinking Water plant has been installed.
The main motto of this plant is to produce safe drinking water and supply to the poor and suffered people at a cost of nominal price.
