On this program awareness was raised about using clean water including methods of water purification. This program was held in the slum of Rayerbazar in Dhaka and slum of Motijhorna in Chittagong. The volunteers of VBD provided necessary details and a practical demonstration of making natural water purification system to a selected number of community families in the slums. The home-made water purification system is comparably easier to make, cost-effective and the materials are locally accessible and can be availed at a lower cost. The program started at 10 am and continued till 4 pm. The volunteers continued with their practical demonstration and home-made water purification system was also explained in details by drawings laid out in a calendar. This calendar was distributed among the slum peoples in turns by the volunteers and they also explained it clearly. By the end of the day 12 such home-made water purification system was made by the volunteers with the involvement of around 80 slum families. |
