It takes initiative for pond-sand filter, rainwater harvesting and mini piped water supply system etc. Construction of toilets for general public and students is another important activity of the project. It also works for total sanitation in the target area. The project also concentrates on the solid waste management.

The activities of the project are being implemented by Dhaka Ahsaina Mission as a facilitating Agency. The expected function of the facilitating agency is to facilitate the process of building capacities to enable the stakeholders to carry out expected functions in the community of hill areas. The direct beneficiaries of the project are different communities of the hill area. To ensure service delivery to the beneficiaries, DAM is directly working with para workers, local government Institutions, Watsan committee, DPHE and other related stakeholders. The project is being implemented in 16 upazila Rangamati, Bandarban and Khagrachari districts. It aims to get people improved sanitation and safe drinking water supplies, and special measures will ensure that school children and the poorest will benefit. The project is to support communities, and particularly the poorest in those communities, unserved and under-served areas, to adopt appropriate hygiene practices which reduce their exposure to diarrhoeal and other water & hygiene-related diseases. To improve safe water and sanitation coverage in the project area appropriate water sources are being installed and slab latrines are also being supplied to the project beneficiaries. Under this project social mobilization for awareness building, school sanitation and hygienic education, development of appropriate water sources and sanitation and building of institutional capacity have been implemented. This program improved hygiene and behavioural practices and also ensure safe water supply and safe excreta disposal among the people of CHTs area.

Dhaka Ahsania Mission has planned to implement a two years project entitled Ensuring Sustainability through Advancing Improved Sanitation-ESAIS under rural programme at Jamalpur Sadar with financial and technical support of WaterAid in Bangladesh. The project aims to scaling-up the success already have made by SSARA project under EEHCO and strengthening of generation and mobilisation resources towards improved sanitation. Besides, the project aims to strengthening capacity of Upazila Parishad in Local Governance, participatory Pplanning and resource management which will create enabling environment towards accountable, transparent and efficient sanitation services as per local demand by the facilitating role of strengthened Upazila Parishad. Lessons learned of the project will be advocated at national level for replication and scaling up. Based on the long experience on UP led community mobilisation for total sanitation under “Decentralised Total Sanitation (Dishari) project” from 2004-2009, and Upazilla led resource mobilisation under SSARA from 2009-2011 DAM is interested to take an initiative to transform the conventional sanitation into improved or quality sanitation through strengthening Upazila Prishad that can mobilize internal resources and deliver services to the people for bringing the prospects and potentials. This new initiative would pay more attention to revamp and streamline LGI revenue collection system and mobile untapped resources, utilization of LGSP fund, linking local entrepreneur with micro credit organisation and capacitated Bazar and social committee to operation and management of their sanitation facilities effectively

The project aims at reducing the morbidity and mortality caused by inadequate water and sanitation provision in particular to the disaster prone areas. EWSDRR provides safe water and sanitary latrines in 100 targeted schools/shelters. This project works for developing community awareness on the use of safe water and sanitary latrines during and after disasters. The other objective of the project is to develop capacity on WatSan facilities, operation and maintenance, water safety plan and hygiene promotion, community mobilisation and early warning system and strengthening relevant government structures etc. The project deals with both software and hard ware services. The software services include building Mass Awareness, hygiene Promotion, capacity Development, follow-up Activities and sustainability. On the other hand hardware services are installation of Deep Hand Tube-Well (DHTW), installation of Rain Water Harvesting (RWH), construction of School Latrine, construction of ECO- toilets and village based total Sanitation. The project is being implemented in 3 upazilas of Bhola districts. Started in November 2011, the project will winded up in October 2014.

The project targets that by the end of the project a sustainable service delivery model would be developed to increase access to WASH of the people living in Fulbaria Pourashava through building capacities of the Pourashavas and other service providers including influencing towards pro-poor policy and increase investments for WSS. The project has a number of immediate objectives. It focuses in devising a model sustainable service delivery by the Pourashava to increase access to WASH of the people. It also works for enhancing capacity of the Pourashava to respond to demands of the citizen especially poor and the disadvantaged. The project makes an effort for empowering of community people to place demands for sustainable water supply and environmental sanitation services to the Pourashava and other service providers. The project also has certain activities for community behaviour change in promoting hygiene and sanitation situation. It sets another objective to influence policy/strategy and institutional reforms to ease access to water and sanitation services for the urban people. To increase access of the target people to quality public and private WatSan Services in the project area. DAM in consistency with its core programmatic approach is followed. The project is being implemented Fulbaria Municipality of Mymensingh district.

DAM is working to improve the water supply and sanitation condition in rural, Bangladesh. So far it has implemented many projects across the country to ensure safe drinking water and health sanitation system for the disadvantaged community. It is also tried to develop low cost and user friendly ways of treating arsenic contaminated water for safe use by rural poor. Among the potential method is a community based water filtering system for arsenic free safe water. The idea is to install a water filtering system in a community. The filter will produce adequate volume of arsenic free water to the designed community. Installation, operation and distribution of safe water will be organized through one of the groups engage in financial support program of DAM. Initial cost of installing the filter system and operating cost will be borne by DAM under entrepreneurship development scheme. Thus, one of the DAM groups or a member thereof will be in charge of the system and s/he will operate and maintain it. Villagers will collect drinking water from the filter under a mutually agreed system of cost recovery. so, the water filter system will on one hand provide safe arsenic free drinking water at affordable cost on the other hand the system will be provided a livelihood option from the individual/ group operating and maintaining the system. Five plants have been installed in three different upazilas of Jessore district while one plant is installed in kalaroa upazila of Satkhira district. The project has been continuing since 2008.

Sujol-the Bangladesh project has aimed at providing millions of people in Bangladesh with arsenic-free drinking water within next 10 years. It wants to bring qualitative change in water by introducing a unique combination of water treatment technology (CapD-I) and micro entrepreneurship. Some 30,000 financially independent micro water businesses will be established throughout the nation, operating CapD-I units that purify water by removing contaminated ions. Developed by Voltea, this technology is non-chemical, highly energy and resource efficient, easy to maintain and operate as well as affordable. Sujol-the Bangladesh project is a different kind of technological breakthrough in Bangladesh. It is also going to be remarkable as long as mass arsenic mitigation is concerned. The project has been launched on a small scale. But soon it will leave its mark across the country. As this technology is a unique and simple way to obtain clean, desalinated water with low energy consumption, no added chemicals and a high water recovery rate, this award winning technology is going to contribute immensely in ensuring purified water where people's lives are in real peril! At present, this project is being piloted in Shyamnagar, Kolaroa and Kaliganj upazilas of Satkhira district. The major activities will be done in the pilot phase including water quality test, Plant installation and testing of CapD-I in Bangladesh. Initially, 600 households are going to be benefited by the project. Satkhira is especially prone to natural disasters and its ground water is contaminated with arsenic. Scarcity of fresh water in the whole region is likely to worsen further with the rise in sea level and intrusion of saline water deep into the region due to climate change. As a result, both salinity and arsenic will put the people of Satkhira district in peril.
