  1. Dear Sir,

    Greetings from Aid Organization in Bangladesh. I am Governing Body Member and Regional Representative of the United Nation Office for Project Service- UNOPS-WSSCC in South Asia. I am welling to work together to be your partner in Bangladesh.

    Bangladesh is a low-lying revering country. It is one of the densely population countries in the world. The density of population is over 41% person per sqr. Km. and per capita income is about US$ 380 as average from whole the country. But actual figure is more below, because the ratio is fixed up middle of top & bottom. Due to their financial scarcity, they have no capacity to re-embers full cost of sanitary latrine or for drinking and use fresh water sources. Safe water supply and improved sanitation system will ensure better health & hygiene for this numbers of targeted people. But they are deprived and most of the households of this area are still use unhealthy latrines. Other hand, the caused of Cyclone Sidr and Aila damages & destroyed the sanitation infrastructure. So, most of the target populations are discharged their stool & urine into the field and water. Result of this unhealthy situation contributes of lot of episodes of water bone diseases, which affected to women and children. The age group of children are mainly 1-5/6 are very risky those are affected due to water bone diseases and they become die. Women are in the grip of exploitation in their household level, so they are also deprived from their basic needs and have also attack from water born diseases.

    So, I shall be happy if you kindly give me advices and guidelines on this occasion for our country.

    I am waiting for your reply.

    Thanking You,

  7. Wonder Life Foundation-Uganda strongly appreciate the material and financial facilitation you offer to developing countries more especially those that are found in Sub-Saharan region.

    80% of the infections that attack people in Africa are associated by unsafe “Water”. Therefore institutions like Schools, Hospitals, Towns and Churches should be driving such project to insure safe water and hygiene in these regions.

    Such programs should not be politicized for the Communities to benefits and sustain them because when own such programs, it creates “a sense of ownership”.

    Above all Wonder Life Foundation-Uganda would to Work closely with your Support to improve on the lives of people.

    Thanks so much for your Support and Care

    Yours

    Akabu Masede
