Safe Water for All | The Legacy of the IWR Project in Rural Bangladesh | World Vision Bangladesh

For years, the families in the hilly terrains of Ramu, Cox’s Bazar, faced a daily struggle just to find safe water. Today, that reality has been transformed. This film documents the incredible three-year journey of the Improving Access to WASH for Rural Communities (IWR) Project. Funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, this World Vision initiative has brought life-changing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) solutions to some of the most hard-to-reach areas in Bangladesh. What You Will See: The Struggle: Hear from mothers like Kawsar and Baly about the physical hardship of trekking through mountains for water. The Solution: See how solar-powered deep Tube-wells and community-managed pipelines have brought clean water directly to doorsteps. Sustainability: Learn how local mechanics, "School Brigades," and community WASH committees are taking ownership of these systems to ensure they last for generations. Behavior Change: Watch how peer groups and faith leaders have united to promote hygiene and end open defecation. A Message of Gratitude: As we phase out this project, we celebrate the resilience of the people of Ramu and extend our deepest gratitude to the Government of Japan and its people for making this transformation possible. #WorldVision #WASH #CleanWater #Bangladesh #JapanAid #IWRProject #CoxsBazar #CommunityDevelopment #Sustainability #Ramu World Vision is a global Christian relief, development and advocacy organization creating lasting change in the lives of children, their families and communities living in contexts of poverty and injustice.
