Restoring Access, Dignity, and Daily Life in Bangladesh with Desalination

May 2, 2025

The coastal villages of southern Bangladesh are regularly struck by seasonal monsoon rains, flooding, and cyclones, resulting in devastation and severely limited access to safe, clean drinking water. The district of Satkhira faces extreme challenges, as its water sources contain high levels of salt, making it difficult to find drinkable water. Our water projects have helped families across these villages find solutions through reverse osmosis. 

Baduria is an isolated village in the Satkhira district where for Rupali, a 30-year-old woman who bears the weight of responsibility for her family of eight, life unfolds against the backdrop of a relentless challenge: the quest to find safe drinking water.

Our water Desalination Reverse Osmosis plant, a symbol of relief, was inaugurated near Rupali's village. The plant uses techniques to turn salty water into clean, drinkable water. It pushes the salty water through special filters that remove the salt and other harmful substances. What comes out is fresh water that is safe to drink and use. For the first time in her life, Rupali witnessed the miraculous transformation of seawater into fresh, pure drinking water near her home. This desalination plant, a testament to our commitment to community welfare, not only brought relief but also opened a new chapter of possibilities for Rupali.
