In the time of flood crisis in Bangladesh, access to clean water is a real predicament.In flood prone communities across rural regions in Bangladesh, many people fall sick because of shortage of clean water. Bangladeshi NGO Footsteps took an initiative to convert this curse into a boon.
Footsteps has designed ‘Dreamwater Portable Filter’ under its Disaster Resilience Programme. The lightweight filter can convert flood water into drinking water by removing harmful sediments and elements, creating a reliable source of drinking water during a time of crisis.Just Peoples, a non-profit organization, funded this project.
The first batch of portable filters have been deployed in Kurigram of Northern Bangladesh, where 9 women are undergoing training to become the first respondents in providing clean water during flood crisis using the portable filters.
