Supporting SWEEP to adapt and grow during the COVID-19 pandemic

Scale Response Facility - Sanitation

Project summary

WSUP supports four pit emptying enterprises in three major cities in Bangladesh under their SWEEP brand. These enterprises are generally profitable but experienced financial losses during the pandemic due to decreased demand and rising costs for health and safety equipment.

SWEEP utilised Response Facility support to facilitate a switch to digital marketing and alternative demand creation approaches. It also ensured that SWEEP employees can carry out their work safely and offset operations costs during the pandemic.
