As a part of BAT’s safe drinking water initiative, BAT Bangladesh has already installed 87 filtration plants to make water free from arsenic and other harmful contents in arsenic prone areas in the country.
BAT Bangladesh has stepped forward with a safe drinking water project, having recognized the gravity of water and sanitation. All the 87 plants now purify 450,000 litres of safe drinking water, meeting the need of 220,000 people every day. The plants are maintained by local committees consisting of members from local areas. More than hundred communities in rural areas with the safe drinking water plants are now living a better life than before as safe drinking water is enriching their livelihood.
