FRIENDSHIP BANGLADESH
About us
Over the last 15 years, Friendship has grown from being a distant dream to an organisation delivering vital services to 4.2 million people in the most marginalized communities of Bangladesh. Our work wouldn’t be possible if not for the 1,600 people dedicated to helping those in need.
Also crucial to our organisation is Friendship International. Formed over the years by a passionate group of people from Luxembourg, France, the UK and the Netherlands, Friendship International helps us foster partnerships, mobilise funds, gain expertise and raise awareness of our unique methodologies. More than partners, this group believes in the core values, ethics and work of Friendship. Together we are building a solid organisation that makes real changes to communities outside the economic mainstream, whilst retaining the dignity of the people who live within them.

“We’ve been put under a lot of strain because of COVID-19; between 13 doctors, 11 medical assistants, 19 nurses and 2 lab-techs, we’ve all been working around the clock, risking our own well-being... So, I want to give Friendship special thanks, to come to our assistance in this time of need, and to help us when we needed it so badly. I can’t thank you enough for this grand gesture.” said Dr. Momena Parvin Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer (UH&FPO) of Kazipur, Sirajganj as she received PPE donation from Friendship for their Covid-19 response team. Thanks to Start Fund donation that helped us reach out to health providers in this time of need.

“Our experience in the field has shown that gaining the trust of the communities in which we operate is a key component of success. Trust can only be built up over time by providing consistent and reliable quality services and earning the respect of the people we work for. Friendship doesn’t work through short-term projects, but ensures its commitment to the communities on a long term basis.”
