What we do
Friendship works together with vulnerable people in remote communities in Bangladesh to help them transform their lives.
BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY
We implement six core programmes in an integrated approach (see below).
Our work with the poor began with Healthcare, but it soon became clear that to make a lasting impact on people’s lives we had to resolve other issues at the same time to break the cycle.

SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
EDUCATION
CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION & DISASTER MANAGEMENT
INCLUSIVE CITIZENSHIP
CULTURAL PRESERVATION

The Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) under the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development of Bangladesh and Friendship have signed an MoU on 2nd May at DPHE Head Office in Dhaka. The MoU aims to set forth common provisions and procedures for the cooperation between DPHE and Friendship to provide access to safe drinking water to underserved communities in Bangladesh and Rohingya camps. The MoU has been signed following the recent installation of an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) by Friendship at DPHE’s laboratory in Cox’s Bazar. The laboratory is accessible to all government, non-government and private organizations for testing quality of source water.
Mohammed Anwar Eusuf, Superintending Engineer, Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance Circle, DPHE and Kazi Amdadul Hoque, Director of Strategic Planning and Head of CCADM, Friendship. Md Saifur Rahman, Chief Engineer, DPHE and Iftekhar Uddin Mahmud, COO, Friendship witnessed the signing ceremony.
The critical demand for water and sanitation facilities for the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMNs) has been addressed by DPHE along with other non-government agencies. In this context, DPHE is strengthening its laboratory in Cox’s Bazar to measure the threat of contamination of drinking water as they are using groundwater. This MoU aims to serve and explore innovative solutions for the FDMNs and the people in disaster-prone communities in Bangladesh.
