As a dedicated teacher at Saleh Bulbul Chowdhury Government Primary School in Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, I am witnessing firsthand the impact of our students not having access to clean water. Since last year, when the water pump was stolen, the students and staff have been grappling with a day-to-day struggle for a basic necessity: water. This has affected our students' academic performance and poses serious health risks.

Without water, our students cannot wash their hands, drink safely, or have access to sanitary facilities. The nearest source of safe water is far away from the school premises. Young students, already burdened with the weight of their schoolwork, are now forced to venture long distances under the sweltering sun to find water. This painful journey takes a toll on their health, often leaving them dehydrated and at risk of heatstroke.

The absence of clean water has turned our vibrant learning environment into a place of deprivation. Our students deserve the right to basic hygiene, hydration, and the ability to concentrate on their studies without worrying about where their next sip of water will come from. They deserve a safe and nurturing educational environment that supports their growth and well-being.

We call upon the local authorities in Ukhiya and Cox's Bazar to address this critical issue. Replacing the stolen pump with a more secure setup and implementing protective measures can prevent future thefts, ensuring a reliable water source for our school community. Furthermore, consistent maintenance and periodic checks can help uphold the water system's function and reliability, preventing this dilemma from reoccurring.

By taking swift action, we can drastically improve the learning conditions for our students, safeguarding their health and empowering them to achieve their full potential. We urge everyone who cares about the future of our children and the well-being of our community to support us in this cause.

Sign this petition today to demand immediate action to restore safe and reliable water access to the students at Saleh Bulbul Chowdhury Government Primary School. Your support can make a world of difference in the academic and personal lives of countless children.
