AquaRevive
Project Overview
AquaRevive is a student-led initiative by fellows from Bangladesh Maritime University focused on addressing water pollution in Dhaka through awareness and community action. The project engages local communities living near key waterways by conducting outreach, campaigns, and educational activities on environmental and health impacts. Having reached over 230 individuals, it promotes sustainable practices and behavioral change while contributing to SDGs 6, 11, 12, and 14, advancing efforts toward cleaner and healthier urban waterways.
Project Impact
During the Millennium Fellowship, Team Aquarevive successfully engaged over 230 individuals from communities near Dhaka’s waterways, exceeding its initial target of 200 participants. Through posters, leaflets, and visual arts, the project raised awareness about waterway pollution and inspired community members to reduce waste disposal, support local environmental action, and spread awareness further. Post-event feedback reflected strong community interest and engagement. However, limited time restricted the ability to measure long-term environmental improvements, while stronger follow-up mechanisms, additional volunteers, and greater collaboration with environmental groups could have expanded the project’s impact.
