The Max foundation chose Bangladesh because there it can achieve most with the least
• High impact because of relatively high preventable child mortality
• Low cost because of soft ground and extreme poverty
• Many users per well because of high population density
• Robustness of result because of social stability
Why sanitation in Bangladesh?

Max Foundation operates in the relatively poor south with three partner organisations

People wash themselves in extremely dirty rivers …
8
…and live near shallow, polluted ponds from which they often drink
9
The digging of the wells is completely done by hand
10
The result is a clean water well without arsenic contamination
Village provides:-200 signatures-Maintenance committee-Village responsible-Local contribution (€100)
€450 Total cost€100 Local contribution€350 Max Foundation
11
The improvement in water quality is enormous
15 randomly visited villages claimed:
“Since we have the wells and
latrines are children
have virtually no
more diarrea”
In some villages not a single child had died since the sanitation was provided
“no more scabies
since we wash
ourselves in clean water”
12
The possibility to ‘sponsor’ a well proved very popular
13
So far more than 500 villages received sanitation
14
Also air-sealed latrines are less glamorous but just as important
Because of the air-seal, flies can not
access the faeces and transfer diseases
The foot rests minimize the
amount of faeces carried back into the households
Handwash water: the first sept to
hygiene
15
Besides the hardware (wells and latrines), the software is crucial
16
Publicity has been very valuable fo the foundation

So far the foundation made progress but the need still is huge
• The foundation proved the micro-sanitation approach…– Simple – Scalable – Robust
• …And showed results– 500 deep tube wells– 100.000 people provided with sanitation
• But the number of people without access to clean water still is huge– 40+ million in Bangladesh alone– 200+ million in India– 1+ Billion in the world
