Clean Water Progress in Satkhira

Eighteen months into our Satkhira tube-well project, we're sharing an honest progress update — including the wells that took longer than planned.

Where things stand

Of the 20 planned wells, 14 are complete and serving an estimated 3,800 residents. The remaining 6 are delayed by land-access negotiations in two villages, which we expect to resolve by next quarter.

Before the well, my daughter walked forty minutes each way to fetch water. Now she has time to do her homework instead.

Every well is tested for arsenic, turbidity, and bacterial contamination before it's handed over to the community — the readings above are typical of what we're seeing across the completed sites.
