Intended Project
A step is being taken towards helping with the enormous need of providing safe water in areas where most of the wells are impacted with high levels of arsenic.
​
A small group of former MCCers who used to work in southern Bangladesh are working together to help set up a project to provide clean water to a heavily impacted area.
​
We are working with a Christian NGO on an initial 3-year project, in a rural township in one of the worst impacted areas of the country. Total cost is expected to be approximatley $80,000 for the entire three year period of the project.
