Larger expenditure items:
(more information available on request from admin@lambproject.org )
- Water and sewage treatment
Bangladesh, as a ‘ground zero’ for climate change (where rising ocean levels are forecast to cover much of the sea-level coastal land), has become more generally concerned about environmental issues. Hospital licensing is now contingent on adequate treatment of contaminated water, so a treatment plant is being developed, including a realistic budget.
- Extension to hospital, and field / research centres (US$1,000,000)
(outpatients, some wards, and research/management areas small, old, and damaged)
- Protection from erosion for LAMB pond and adjacent path (US$5,000)
