The Smilez Team are delighted to announce that we have reached our donation target to provide a Tube Well to more than 50 families in Bangladesh.
Due to the popularity of this campaign and the number of pledges we have so generously received, we have increased the scope to now raise funds for an additional Tube Well in the region of Zakiganj – Bangladesh.
Therefore as part of the Smilez Walk For Water 2020 event, the team will now be be raising funds for Two Deep Tube Wells which in total will serve more than 100 families.
In comparison to many areas in Bangladesh which are below sea level, Zakiganj is in a hilly and mountainous region which unfortunately causes rainwater to seep into surrounding areas on lower ground.
Local villagers have not had the opportunity or resources to fund any deep water well technology in order to bring water to the surface, therefore relying on man made ponds to collect water for drinking, cooking and bathing for themselves and their family. These waters are a cesspit of bacteria, infection and disease causing many underlying health conditions and even death.
At Smilez we believe that access to clean water is a basic human right and we are excited to launch our first Communal Deep Tube Well Campaign.
A deep tube well is wide and made from stainless steel, making them dependable during all seasons. They provide enough clean water to serve more than 50 families, livestock and crops.
The cost of A Deep Tube Well was £1150. This included the cost to purchase and installation of the specialist equipment.
For our first ever Fundrasing event the Smilez team took part in doing a solidarity 6km Walk For Water to raise awareness and donations for this Campaign.
