The techniques used for this are relatively affordable and simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These grids can last up to fifteen years, and even longer with proper maintenance. These networks provide jobs and income, which almost certainly guarantees the required maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>40 grids have been built to date, 20 of which were built in the past calendar year. 2,100 additional households and companies have been connected to running clean water in 2023. Eight thousand people now have direct access to clean water at home via a tap.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\">3,885 hours of labour saved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">We often say it: It&#8217;s not only water that flows from a tap. It also provides time. The figures for this project emphasise this once again. Thanks to the 40 grids that have been installed, the many residents of this area jointly save 3,885 hours per day that were previously spent on providing clean water for themselves and their families. Girls and women can now spend this time going to school, caring for family and generating income &#8211; a snowball effect with purely positive consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">At the same time, the grids also create more work &#8211; in the best possible way! Each grid has an administrator responsible for connections, maintenance and income. To date, the grids have created 58 new jobs, providing both long-term access to running water for the community and economic independence for these operators. A beautiful circular effect that we are very proud of.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"

Additionally, new water quality meters have been installed at existing grids, ensuring the health of the users. This is backed up by data. There has not yet been a single case of waterborne diseases in the affiliated communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are well on our way to achieving the goals of this project. By the end of 2026, we hope that a total of 130 water grids will have been built, which will provide 9,100 households consisting of 33,700 people with clean water. It will also create 148 jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year we are making a big effort to achieve these goals. 30 new water grids are planned to be built, doubling the number of people with a tap in their home. We will keep you informed of the progress!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:110px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-lightgray-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Max Tap Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In Bangladesh, 73 million people still do not have access to water at home. As a result, especially women and girls spend at least 2 hours a day to fetch water. That water is often polluted with various diseases and malnutrition as a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Our mission in this project is therefore: easy, safe and affordable water at home. We will do this in an enterprising way by constructing mini water networks that will pay for themselves.
