1 - Health

Access to healthcare is a fundamental human right, but is not yet available to many of the poor in the remote areas of Bangladesh. We have spent the past 15 years developing the infrastructure, services and innovative technologies that enable us to bring reliable healthcare to marginalized communities, despite the difficult environment. People's lives are saved or changed beyond recognition thanks to Friendship.

2 - Education

Friendship is proud to have successfully built and established 78 self-sufficient schools where previously there were no government schools in remote areas of Bangladesh. This has given children (and adults) in marginalized communities the chance to enjoy their basic right to education.

3 - Inclusive Citizenship

Remote char communities are often ostracised, vulnerable and powerless. Unlike citizens of mainland Bangladesh, chars dwellers don't receive the public services available to them. Friendship ensures these marginalized people are made aware of their rights, helping them connect with government officials and institutions.

4 - Climate Actions

Bangladesh is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters as people suffer the repercussions of global warming and climate change. Friendship focuses efforts on helping char inhabitants in disaster-prone areas and supports local and community institutions to accelerate recovery.

5 - Sustainable Economic Development

Friendship provides skills, training and job opportunities to vulnerable people including women, farmers, and fishermen. Weaving, tailoring and embroidery centers Agricultural project Rural Electrification project Fishermen's project

6 - Cultural Preservation

Bangladesh has a rich boat-building heritage that is at risk of extinction. Friendship works to preserve this heritage and create sustainable livelihoods for traditional artisans.
