" "As a Millennium Fellow, I am excited to collaborate with like-minded individuals who are passionate about driving change in their communities. My work with EcoFlow Revive is driven by the belief that access to clean water is a fundamental right, and I am committed to empowering communities to reclaim and protect this vital resource for future generations."

Millennium Fellowship Project: EcoFlow Revive
“EcoFlow Revive,” through 12 student volunteers, mobilized the Korail slum with the hope of rewinding Banani Lake and took action to implement a comprehensive strategy that combines environmental conservation and community education by activating student involvement. Represents a forward-thinking initiative aimed at tackling the intertwined challenges of water scarcity, pollution, and health disparities within the Korail community. Central to its mission is the restoration of Banani Lake as a sustainable source of clean water for marginalized communities. This ambitious goal is underpinned by a strategic approach that blends community engagement, technological innovation, and environmental stewardship. The project aims not only to improve water access but also to enhance public health outcomes by reducing waterborne diseases associated with contaminated sources. Furthermore, the strategies of this project are multifaceted. It includes comprehensive community awareness campaigns designed to educate residents on water conservation practices and the importance of clean water for health and sanitation. These campaigns are tailored to reach diverse segments of the Korail population, including schoolchildren, women engaged in household water management and community leaders. By fostering a culture of water stewardship, EcoFlow Revive seeks to empower residents to become active participants in safeguarding their water resources.
In collaboration with academic partners such as Brac University, EcoFlow Revive is developing and implementing innovative solutions like the Solar Disinfection System (SODIS). This technology harnesses solar energy to purify water, providing a sustainable and cost-effective means to improve water quality within the community. The involvement of local universities not only enhances the project's scientific rigor but also fosters knowledge exchange and capacity building among future generations of water management professionals. Also, the inauguration of a documentary film of all activities of this project is added another sophisticated area of trust, from political affiliation to spreading awareness towards youth and next generation in Bangladesh.
