Bangladesh
has limited natural resources and is now strongly impacted by
climate change, and this makes it very difficult for the people
here to help their own communities. |

Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha overcame the
challenge that the ecosystem of Bangladesh poses and found an
innovative way to deliver information and education to
residents. Shidhulai has transformed the regions waterways into
pathways for education, information and technology. Shidhulai
has converted boats into schools, libraries, healthcare and
trainings centers to the isolated waterside communities. |
