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

"I started moving into the countryside to see the reality of life as it is, and when I did, I saw things that I had never seen in my life. I couldn't believe that we were from the same country. This amount of seclusion, lack of opportunity, hopelessness and detachment from the mainstream was injustice. There were instances where I saw children die because their parents did not have 10 taka for the treatment of their child!."
Runa Khan, Founder and Executive Director of Friendship speaks about the formation of Friendship, her experiences of representing the culture and heritage of #Bangladesh in international forums and her vision for the future to The Daily Star
