Brotee a company for social change was founded in 1992 with a vision to achieve atma shakti (strength of the soul) and freedom to determine social change.

Brotee is a self supported organization trying to mobilize local resources, local capital, local technology and options to seek and establish a sustainable drinking water system in the village. It has adopted fourteen villages and has been able to start a pilot project in only these villages with very promising results.

Currently, the arsenic affected people of Kalashgram and Char Aicha and Brotee are working together to preserve rainwater in ponds.

In 1999, Brotee produced a documentary "Arsenic Alert" to campaign at home and abroad. It was shown in the World Water  Forum 2000. International NGO in Holland (Adra International) used it to raise funds for their water program in Bangladesh. It was shown in five European cities targeting the NRBs, international development agencies and civil society in Hague, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Bradford, and California.
