SDL Project
Many households in rural Bangladesh do not have sufficient cash in hand to upgrade sanitation systems, but can afford the cost if they are able to spread the cost over time. To help address this, DFED has been implementing `SDL–OBA Sanitation Microfinance Programme’project at four upazila under Satkhira District through its nine Microfinance Branches. The project is funded by PKSF and World Bank. Goal ofthe project is to increase access to hygienic sanitation facilities for low-income households in rural areas of Bangladesh through commercial sanitation loans. During April 2017 to June 2017, 191 sanitary latrines has been installed and a total of Tk 1.92 million credit support provided to the 191 households.
