Bangladesh is recognized as one of the country’s most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has identified the coastal region as one of the major climate hotspot areas due to increasing salinity intrusion, sea-level rise, cyclones, storm surges, tidal flooding, and coastal erosion. These climate-induced hazards have significantly affected the livelihoods, health, and living conditions of coastal communities. Among the most critical challenges is the scarcity of safe drinking water, as freshwater sources are increasingly becoming saline and unsuitable for human consumption.

The experience of Nowabenki Gonomukhi Foundation (NGF) indicates that climate-vulnerable coastal communities continue to face severe difficulties in accessing safe and reliable drinking water. Salinity intrusion into both surface and groundwater sources, coupled with the impacts of recurrent cyclones and tidal surges, has substantially reduced the availability of potable water. As a result, people—particularly women and children—are compelled to travel long distances to collect drinking water, exposing them to health risks, economic hardship, and reduced productivity. Limited access to safe drinking water also contributes to waterborne diseases and undermines the resilience of vulnerable households.

Under these circumstances, to improve access to safe drinking water and strengthen the climate resilience of vulnerable coastal communities in the selected upazilas of Khulna, Bagerhat, and Satkhira districts, Nowabenki Gonomukhi Foundation (NGF) will implement the project titled “Access to Safe Drinking Water for the Climate Vulnerable People in Coastal Areas of Bangladesh through Solar-generated Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Facilities.” The project will be financed by the Adaptation Fund (AF) through Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) and will be implemented over a period of two years.

The specific objectives of the project are:

• Ensure access to safe and climate-resilient drinking water for vulnerable coastal communities through the installation and operation of Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment plants.

• Enhance awareness and knowledge of climate-vulnerable communities on safe drinking water, health, hygiene, and climate change adaptation practices.

Reports to: Project Focal Person of Organization
