Since early nineties, BEES has been incorporating WatSan activities exclusively with the assistance form integrated software and hardware support services from the NGO Forum for DWSS under its collaboration activities. So far, it has been rendering the services through 4 Village Sanitation Centers (VSCs) along with its abundant support services for the suffering humanities.

 

BEES has achieved a sound experience in rehabilitation work particularly in WatSan activities. In particular, after any devastating cyclone in coastal belts, BEES successfully performed rehabilitation activities, which mainly include building shelter, ensuring safe water & environmental sanitation, installation of new tubewells, repairing & re-sinking of the damaged tubewells, dewatering ponds as well as producing water-seal ring-slab latrines with the financial assistance of the World Relief Canada.

 

BEES provided the beneficiaries with credit for tubewell installation and construction of hygienic latrines. A huge number of tubewells and latrines have been installed through these initiatives.

 

Furthermore, BEES performed arsenic tested for a good number of hand tubewells with its own efforts. The tubewells with arsenic contamination were marked red while the arsenic free tubewells were marked green. BEES created awareness among the people using communication materials on usage of safe water, personal hygiene practice, disposal of solid waste, and; dreadfulness of arsenic & arsenic mitigation options. Besides, plentiful promotional activities were accomplished to strengthen the hardware support services in WatSan.
