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 ACTION
INCLUSIVE CITIZENSHIP
CULTURAL PRESERVATION

Being one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world it is not a question of whether a disaster is going to happen, but rather when it will happen and with what intensity. The affected communities have no other choice than to adapt and strengthen resilience. Friendship works towards more adaptive solutions like raising plinths that can help communities survive disasters like flood & cyclone. #ClimateAdaptation #AdaptationSummit #FriendshipNGO

Flood is a natural phenomenon in the river islands. But, for those communities it is also a name to fear as it takes away lives & valuables along with it. Friendship Flood Volunteers are regularly trained to tackle any situation that can help saving lives & valuables during flood

Bangladesh is one of the most exposed and vulnerable countries in the world to natural disasters, and remote river island communities are the forefront to all crises. Friendship has been working with these climate-impacted communities for decades to build natured-based and adaptive solutions, innovative systems to take healthcare and education to take to these inaccessible areas and, build fast-responsive methods to save lives during crises. #ClimateAdaptation #AdaptationSummit #friendshipngo

Maybe we are in lack of an institution for conducting research and innovations of adoption of climate change in our country... Is there any in the world? If not even, maybe we need this one

Thank you for making this video. Very good production!
Excellent for making video
Beautiful
The remote river island community, who live in the forefront of all-natural crises, for them, they have to option other than to adapt. Friendship has been working with these communities for decades to provide them with survival trainings that can help them during these disasters.
Very creative , using empty plastic gas tanks as floatation devices. Does Friendship provide them these also?
