OBAT has six drinking water projects in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rangpur and Syedpur. Each of these provides clean water for about 2,200-2,500 people. The camps are faced with a serious scarcity of clean drinking water. The City Water Supply Authority usually supplies water during late night when everyone is asleep, making collection of water impossible. Adding to the problem is a dearth of electricity and the ensuing load shedding or prolonged power outages. The supply of water depends on the supply of electricity. Hence, load shedding presents a great problem, preventing people from collecting water when it is needed, for drinking or household chores.
In addition, the water supplied by the authorities is contaminated and not potable. Drinking dirty water leads to several water borne disease, for e.g. cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, typhoid and hepatitis etc.
As a result of these projects, the incidence of disease has been reduced and access to clean water is now a reality for the camp people.
Increase the impact of your donations today! OBAT’s Preschool project has been listed on the website of Global Giving since April 2012. Out of the funds needed, only $8,515 remains to be raised. $5,235 has already been raised due to your generosity and support.
Today, GlobalGiving will match donations at 30% up to $1,000 per donor per project! There is $50,000 available in matching funds and matching will last until funds run out or 11:59 pm EDT.
Please share with your friends and family and encourage them to make an early donation as matching funds run out quickly.

To all the women, young and old, fighting against all odds in the camps, we say thank you. Thank you, for your strength, for not faltering, for overcoming hurdles and for showing others that life can be rebuild even if it was once reduced to a wreckage. Thank you for being a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a caregiver and a provider. Thank you for not giving up hope.
Light up the lives of the little children at OBAT’s preschools by helping them go to school.
Over 95% of 300,000 forgotten people are illiterate and only about 10% of their kids are in elementary schools. By ensuring their admission into elementary schools, the preschools enable them to get that education and open the door for a better and brighter future. In the preschool, they are provided all essential supplies, text and note books. They acquire basic literacy skills which enable them to clear the test for admission into an elementary school.

The victims had been temporarily housed in a government school. However, due to an impending election, the local government asked them to vacate the school, forcing them to create and move into makeshift houses made out of tarp. These houses, as you can imagine, do not offer much relief from the elements and the cold weather.
Please reach out and help reconstruct their homes so that they can once again resume their lives. Their homes were tiny huts made out of tin, to begin with. Now, they have been deprived of even that very basic level of housing.
