Swapna's community had a problem—they couldn't get enough water. Forty families shared just four wells, two of which dried up for six months of the year. This meant women had to wait hours for their turn to collect water and families couldn't bathe or wash clothes regularly. Worst of all, families often fell ill from waterborne diseases. But, thanks to generous Canadians who gave Gift Guide items like Clean Water and Water Wells, FH Bangladesh worked with the community to prioritize clean water access. Swapna, a mother and leader in the community, donated her own land for the new waterpoint site! "Now I and all my neighbours drink safe and pure water,” Swapna tells us. Learn how clean water transformed Swapna’s community. Read her story ➡️ https://ow.ly/ZJso50Us82V #CleanWater #GiftGuide #WaterAccess #AccessToCleanWater

National Hygiene Week 2024 At DFP we understand that hygiene is about more than just keeping things clean—it’s about creating healthier, safer environments for everyone. Due to the raising cost of living, DFP understand this leaves people in poverty caught between choosing to heat their home, buy food, or keep clean. At DFP we believe that feeling clean is not a luxury, and that why we want to support people to access the basics they need to maintain good hygiene. That is why, we have donated £150 to The Hygiene Bank to help combat hygiene poverty. #HygieneMatters #CleanSpaces #NationalHygieneWeek #DFPServices #FacilityManagement #HygienePoverty
