Through involvement in BRAC programmes, Ahki gained the opportunity to improve life for herself and people in her village.

Babar Kabir, Director Disaster Environment and Climate Change and Water and Sanitation Hygiene of BRAC Bangladesh talks about BRAC?s work. They work on a holistic cycle integrating water and sanitation with hygiene. Recently they finished BRAC WASH 1 in April 2011 to provide 25 million people with improved hygienic latrines. Their next steps are to build on this success as it takes longer than 4.5 years to change behaviours. They are consolidating their actions on those that are higher to convince, the last 5-10%. They are also concentrating on building entrepreneurship skills so that the hardware part can continue and the community will also play a role in the long term sustainability. Mapping water resources and emptying pit latrines are two areas which link BRAC?s WASH work with work on food security.
