WASH

WATER | SANITATION | HYGIENE

Expands access to clean water and sanitation through the development of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in underserved camp communities. In 2024, OBAT installed semi-deep, deep, motorized, and submersible tubewells serving nearly 50,000 people, improving community health, dignity, and overall quality of life.

Support health & hygiene

WASH is more than just a basic necessity; it is a cornerstone of sustainable development. At OBAT Helpers, we are committed to transforming the lives of camp communities through our comprehensive WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) projects. We understand that access to clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene facilities are essential for health and well-being.

Our initiatives include the renovation and construction of new bathrooms, community centers, drains, and sewage systems, ensuring that camp residents have the infrastructure they need to thrive. To combat the critical shortage of potable water, we have installed tube wells and hand pumps in various camps, bringing safe and clean water directly to those who need it most.

Enhancing Water Access

Install and maintain tube wells and hand pumps to provide safe drinking water for underserved communities, reducing the prevalence of waterborne diseases.

OUR GOALS

Improving Sanitation Facilities

Renovate existing bathrooms and construct new sanitation facilities to promote hygiene and reduce health risks associated with inadequate sanitation.

Raising Hygiene Awareness

Implement educational programs and workshops to teach community members about proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing and safe water handling, to foster a culture of health.

Emergency Response & Relief

Quickly mobilize resources and support during disasters to provide immediate relief to affected communities, ensuring they have access to essential services and recovery resources.

Water. health. hope.

Imagine a world where every drop of water brings hope and health. In Bangladesh, thousands of families lack access to clean water, a fundamental right many take for granted. But together, we can change that.

A single hand pump costs only $250 and can provide clean water for approximately 100 people.

Your support can save lives and help prevent waterborne diseases.

Installation of Water Wells

In collaboration with our valued partner, OBAT Canada, we installed 15 hand pumps in Susua, benefiting 3,000 villagers with access to clean water. The materials were transported through challenging terrain, demonstrating our commitment to reaching remote communities.
In 2021, we installed 6 semi-deep tube wells and 3 motorized deep tube wells in various cities, providing clean water to over 14,150 people. Notable locations include Mirpur and Mohammadpur in Dhaka, and Mymensingh, Halishaher, Bogra, and Khulna.
In 2022, Two motorized tube wells serving approximately 6,000 people, were installed by OBAT in the ADC Camp in Mirpur Dhaka and Town Hall Camp in Mohammadpur, Dhaka.
Six semi deep tube wells were constructed in Rangpur in February of 2022. These wells are now providing clean water to around 5,000 people who can use it for drinking and for daily tasks such as cooking and bathing.
Seven semi deep tube wells were installed in the cities of Raufabad, Halishaher, Jesssore, Khulna, Rangpur and Bogra. Altogether, the wells will provide clean drinking water to over 2,700 people.
Other semi deep tube wells constructed in the areas of Bogra, Khulna, Raufabad and Rangpur in 2022 are providing potable water to approximately 2,000 individuals. Two bathrooms were constructed in SB Nagar for men and women and are together providing sanitation facilities to over 100 people.
