MoU Signing SBD x MDF
On January 18, 2025, Sustainable Business Development (SBD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Management and Development Foundation (MDF), a nationally recognized non-profit organization committed to poverty alleviation and improving the quality of life for marginalized communities.
Ms. Anosha, CEO of SBD, and Mr. Junaid Shaikh Executive Director of MDF, signed the MoU.
This collaboration is part of our JARR (Groundwater) Project in lower and middle Sindh, focusing on addressing the critical issue of unsafe drinking water in the region. Through this pilot initiative, we will use PML kits to conduct water quality tests, aiming to identify contaminants and work towards providing clean and safe drinking water to underserved communities.
SBD is also implementing this project in upper Sindh in partnership with SRSO, with the broader objective of conducting academic research on public health issues. The research aims to generate actionable policy recommendations for stakeholders to drive sustainable change.
Ms. Anosha, researcher and CEO of SBD, is collaborating with Dr Robert Metcalf, Professor Emeritus in Biological Sciences USA to test Portable Microbiology Laboratory kits (PML) and explore user-friendly solutions, empowering community members—particularly women—to independently test their drinking water and take necessary actions to ensure its safety.
