About this program
OBAT Canada installs tube wells and motorized and/or submersible pumps to provide reliable clean water to underserved communities.
We install different kinds of clean water sources for camp communities as well as rural areas in Bangladesh:
The motorized and/or submersible pumps provide multiple access points, faucets, and water tanks.
We also build toilets and bathrooms (toilets and shower area) to ensure proper sanitation in the camps and other impoverished communities.
When you donate to this fund, we put your donation towards the most pressing needs in the areas we serve.
For donations of $185 or more, you can specify what you would like to appear on a nameplate installed with the water or sanitation project. Once installed, we will share photos with you.
For donations under $185 your donations will be used to repair wells or combined with other donations to help complete a water or sanitation project and you will be able to view the progress on our social media platforms.
WHERE
Displaced population camps and rural areas in Bangladesh
CLEAN WATER COST
Costs can vary due to depth of the water source and how many drilling sessions are required (hence the "up to").
If the cost ends up being less than your donation, we use the remaining amount towards more water sources or repair existing ones.
SANITATION COST
WHEN
*Installation of all clean water and sanitation projects requires up to 12 months due to various factors including that we install in bulk to get cheaper prices on material; we install in various cities/locations so all of the assessments need to be completed before we begin any installation; our team needs time to conduct field assessments; we have to find space in crowded areas for the installation of the well, platform, and drainage. Weather/season plays a role i.e. heavy rains during the monsoon season cause delays.
Every donation you make goes to programs on the ground, and directly benefits communities in need. Learn More>>
