Grameen Veolia is a small-scale water treatment facility and the first of its kind in Bangladesh. The entire operation is housed within 2 small buildings and can produce enough clean water for several surrounding villages. The clean water is dispersed throughout the area through underground pipes and pump stations. The water is sold at a very low price (a couple of cents for 5 liters) in order to maintain the station but no profit is made from the project. Grameen Veolia is only one of Grameen’s social business initiatives that I will be visiting in the coming weeks.
