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

Awareness is not enough. Until it becomes a habit, there is no real impact. Friendship distributed half the 18,898 hygiene kits provided by IOM in the Rohingya camps, with the second half to be distributed next month. These kits, each of which is ample for a family of 5 for 3 months, ensure clean clothes, clean teeth, clean feet and proper bathing.
