Solar Water Filtration Units for Rural Areas in Coastal Bangladesh

Run by the Bangladesh Bondhu Foundation with Value Network Ventures' support, this Gold Standard project installs reverse-osmosis and UV water purification across six coastal districts, where 81.9% of household water was found to be contaminated with E. coli.
