Therefore we selected the village pakundia of sonargoan upozila for our project
implementation, to ensure the supply of arsenic free pure drinking water for 40 families (200
people). Arsenic is considered to be a high-priority substance for screening in drinking-water
sources. The poor rural people are the main sufferer as they dont have the basic knowledge
of health safety and remedy. Thats how the need for the project was identified.
Project implementation requires that villagers understand the need for arsenic mitigation from
a health standpoint and the costs and benefits of the arsenic removal project, involving
community members in selection and implementation of a source of arsenic-free drinking
water. The project not only attempts to shift villagers use of unsafe water sources to treated
water supplies, but also to pay for the cost to operate and maintain the new system, and to
make them aware about danger of arsenic contamination and its consequences.
The optimum use of the local resources in implementing the project is the driving force. First
of all local village women with limited educational background will be selected for
developing local awareness. With some training it is possible for semi-or illiterate female
village volunteers to test the tube well water for arsenic. Villagers will provide the land for
tube well installation and assistance. The arsenic testing kits will be provided by BRAC. Key
activities involve community meetings; home visits by health educators and water committee
members, dramatic performances, and video and print media to inform people about arsenic
issues. Communication methods will be designed to be effective with villagers of all literacy
and educational levels.
During the course of project implementation, we will collaborate with different Government
bodies like, local DPHE, Sub-Assistant Engineer of Sonargaon upazila, the local elected
bodies the Union Parishad chairman and the members can help for site selection for
construction and distribution of different options. We will take the assistance of BRAC who
is associated with Revitalization of community Heath Care Initiatives in Bangladesh
(RCHCIB). BRAC has encouraged the use of sanitary latrines and hand tube wells as a
source of drinking water. Concerned Government staff will provide technical and secretarial
support to the Community Group (CG) for smooth functioning of dug well implantation.
BRAC will help us with arsenic test kit to detect arsenic in the water.
Development Goals of Bangladesh for ensuring safe drinking water supply for the inhabitants
by the year 2015.
If our project will successful, it provides safe drinking and cooking water for arsenic affected
area. People are aware about the arsenic caused health problems.
The Immediate objective of the project is:
To develop resource maps of different villages of the project area which later will
help safe water implementation plan (through deep hand tube well)
