Building Water Business

About this project

The Building Water Business (BWB) programme aims to to empower male and female entrepreneurs and strengthen business solutions that provide safe water and adequate sanitation to underserved populations, and to reinforce and create new Healthy Villages in Patuakhali and Khulna zones. We aim to reach this through creating an empowered and aware customer base willing to invest in affordable and safe water and sanitation products and services; strengthening entrepreneurs to increase supply (and use) of safely managed water and sanitation products and services; improving the enabling environment for business solutions; and share knowledge on new technologies. More than half of people in the target communities are considered most vulnerable, or do not yet have sufficient access to safely managed water and sanitation services. The Building Water Business Programme will build on the lessons learned and results of the Max Nutri-WASH Programme (2016-2021, EKN-funded programme) and piped water supply schemes built under other programmes.
