What it reported doing in 2024
Arsenic-Free Drinking Water Project Shreenagar Munshiganj Bangladesh: Humanity Beyond Barriers HBB partnered with the Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods Foundation PSLF to address severe arsenic and iron contamination in the groundwater of Shreenagar Munshiganj Bangladesh. With a $10,000 HBB grant PSLF installed a 40-ton Capacitive Deionization CDI water purification unit at Madhankhali Madrasa providing safe arsenic-free drinking water for nearly 300 families students and travelers. The system removes contaminants using low energy and minimal chemicals and can operate on solar power ensuring long-term sustainability. Civil construction equipment installation testing and commissioning were completed successfully meeting Bangladesh and WHO standards. Community training awareness efforts and youth involvement strengthen ongoing maintenance and long-term impact significantly reducing waterborne health risks in this underserved rural area.
