Latrines Project in Bashantek Slum

For 9 years now, Eau et Vie has been promoting pre-carious districts’ inclusion by the access to a drinking water system, to clean-up operations and by the com-munity mobilization. Eau et Vie contributes to improving populations’ living conditions on the base of social entrepreneurship and taking account of the slums’ spe-cific environment.This sanitation project is a pilot project developed as part of the global project of Eau et Vie in Bangladesh. Since 2011, Eau et vie has developed an efficient water network in Bhashantek, a slum of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. More than 7,000 people have now access to running water at home. Eau et Vie started a sanitation pilot project in March 2017 in Bhashantek. Eau et Vie’s approach for this project aims to be realistic: people will take care of infrastructures for services they pay for. The sanitation project is based on a renewed latrines management and the introduction of an improved technology.
