The French NGO better with water has created the social business Shobar Jonno Pani Ltd. and the NGO Water & Life Bangladesh in 2010 and now operating under the trademark of better with water Bangladesh.

The overall objective of BWW Bangladesh is to improve the living conditions of low income communities in depressed urban areas of Bangladesh based on water supply.

W&L and SJP work in close collaboration to implement the program. W&L ensures the implementation of the sanitation & social activities (Hygiene promotion, Fire-fighting, Solid waste management, social survey), while SJP sets up, maintains and operates the water supply network in the targeted areas. Bhashantek water supply network is a pilot and innovative project: the scheme provides metered household connections to slum dwellers with reliable and good quality water, with full recovery of revenues by DWASA. This is the first time in Bangladeshi slums that water is provided through household connection and based on a social enterprise model.

Thanks to the quality of services provided and the efficient billing system, the social enterprise gradually widens its field of action by becoming a multi-services actor, including the waste collection and the sanitation services.
BWW Bangladesh engaged in partnerships with the local communities, authorities, water operator and other development stakeholders.
