ESDO was established in 1988 with the aim of supporting poor and marginalized people affected by the devastating flood and gradually moving towards achieving a broader vision of achieving sustainable, secured, and resilient livelihoods for these poor and marginalized people through improving their overall sustainable development. For the last more than three and a half decades of its development journey, ESDO has set an outstanding example of a sustainable development model for the underprivileged communities of Bangladesh. ESDO has been working in the country's primarily unserved and underserved locations, nurturing a community-focused participatory approach and people's ownership. Consequently, the ESDO's working area has already established an enabling environment. We have made notable achievements in livelihood improvement, food security and nutrition, education, women's empowerment, health, the promotion of children's rights, adolescent and youth engagement, and the rights of ethnic minorities. During this long span, we have adapted to the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services, especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Considering the government's development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs, including a microfinance program, through a community-focused and people-centered approach to accomplish the government's development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole. One of the most dynamic organizations, ESDO, is expanding its development interventions across 408 upazilas under 56 districts of Bangladesh, thereby reaching over 16 million impoverished and vulnerable individuals.

Bangladesh is one of the countries, most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. Coastal communities are particularly exposed to sea-level rise, cyclones, storm surges, salinity intrusion, riverbank erosion, waterlogging, and irregular rainfall. These climate-related hazards have severely affected surface water and groundwater sources, creating an acute shortage of safe drinking water and increasing risks to the health, livelihoods, and overall well-being of coastal populations.

To address this challenge, Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), with financial support from the Adaptation Fund under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is implementing the three-year project titled “Access to Safe Drinking Water for the Climate Vulnerable People in Coastal Areas of Bangladesh through Solar-generated Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Treatment Facilities.” Under the project, a total of 180 Reverse Osmosis water treatment plants will be installed in selected climate-vulnerable areas of Khulna, Satkhira, and Bagerhat districts to improve access to safe and climate-resilient drinking water.
