The need for boats:<\/h4>\n
\n
Nowadays, nearly 50% of the world population lives within 100km from oceans’ shores. For these people boats are an essential tool for their sea and river activities (public transport, fishing, etc\u2026) as well as for an\u00a0access to medical care, education and other services. In many parts of the world, especially in developing countries, coastal communities are facing issues that make the use of boats difficult and dangerous. Watever wishes to act in a sustainable way by developing Floating Solutions to improve the living conditions of these populations.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh<\/h4>\n
\n
Watever now mainly operates in Bangladesh, the country that is the most threatened by the effects of climate change and which has the largest delta in the world. Its fleet is unsafe even though it is considered as the largest in the world with 800 000 to 1 000 000 boats. Due to deforestation the good quality timber is not easily accessible anymore while the countless fishing boats and passenger carriers must be rebuilt quickly. As a result many lives are lost, as well as boats that collapse, which leads to significant social and economic difficulties.<\/p>\n

Download our\u00a0 brochure here ici<\/a>. <\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n Currently Watever\u2019s missions are mainly based in Bangladesh. Watever supports shipyards that share its values and its development mission. The organization sends qualified volunteers and transfers to its partners new technologies which are adapted to the local conditions but also sustainably\u00a0implemented so it can be disseminated through all the country. This network of partners enables a\u00a0practical and direct implementation of solutions.<\/p>\n Beyond support and assistance, Watever develops a transfer of knowledge which is adapted and formalized to local populations. The training includes the use of modern techniques and technologies as well as the use of future innovations that are developed by Watever.<\/p>\n Bamboo Bio-Composite<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n<\/blockquote>\n Watever r\u00e9pond aux besoins des populations locales par :<\/p>\n Watever answers to the local populations\u2019 needs by<\/p>\n M.S.R.S: Maritime Security and Rescue Society in Bangladesh \/ Moon Boat from Cox\u2019s Bazar ou Cox\u2019s Bazar\u2019s Moon Boat\/\u00a0 \/ The Golden Boat of Kuakata ou Kuakata\u2019s Golden-Boat<\/p>\n Watever is also supporting projects that are in line with its values in the field of:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"parent":1955,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
