Khaleda is a Rohingya refugee child who's been living in Bhasan Char with her family since 2021. The island lacks enough sources of safe drinkable water and as a result many children like Khaleda suffer from waterborne diseases.
"Finding drinkable water in Bhasan Char is not easy. My aunt told us about these aquatabs. It makes our water good and safe for drinking," she remarks. "It was surprising when she told me that a small tablet can make so much water safe. Science is great!" adds Khaleda.
"My aunt is a hygiene volunteer with UNICEF so we trust her. We have far fewer stomach aches than before. One day I also want to become a volunteer and learn more about science like this."
