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.

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?

This is how we can adapt to climate change - all over the world. Climate Adaptation is needed, now!
“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.”
