The project will see facilities for clean water, hand washing, and proper toilets installed for residents and school students
Swedish fashion retailer Lindex has launched a joint project in Bangladesh to increase access to clean drinking water and sanitation and improved hygiene in communities where textile workers live.
The collaboration with WaterAid will focus on the Gazipur area of Dhaka where many textile workers who produce clothes for Lindex live. In the area, few people have access to clean water and decent toilets.
The project will see facilities for clean water, hand washing, and proper toilets installed for residents and school students. It also includes training on sanitation and hygiene and raising awareness about reducing the spread of Covid-19. Additionally, the project aims to have a positive impact on the groundwater situation by advocating rainwater harvesting in textile factories connected to the area.

EDF Renewables Ireland has began construction of three new solar farms with a total capacity of 17MW.
This includes Coolroe Solar Farm (5MW), which is located in Coolroe, Ballycullane, Co. Wexford; Blusheens Solar Farm (8MW) in Killinick, Co. Wexford and Curraghmartin Solar Farm (4MW) in Curraghmartin, Carrigeen, Co. Kilkenny.
They are the first sites the French energy giant has begun in Ireland since it acquired 100% of Wexford Solar in October 2020. This included eight solar projects with a capacity of about 100MW, including four that were consented and were successful in the first RESS auction.
Blusheens, Coolroe and Curraghmartin make up the bulk of those successful bids, along with Stamullen (5.8 MW) in County Meath.

Anders Marcus, CEO of Obton, said they were “delighted” by the expansion, which represented an enhanced commitment to the Irish market.
“Our partnership with Shannon Energy has successfully facilitated our investment in the Irish market and we look forward to continuing to expand the role of solar as part of the Irish government’s ambitious objective of having 70% renewable energy by 2030.”
