Since 1999 we have served around 8,000 low-income Bangladeshi families have partnered with Habitat to improve their housing, water and sanitation, and living conditions. This represents around 300,000 people who have also received training in micro-finance, safe water and sanitation, appropriate construction technology, and disaster response and mitigation.

Approximately 70% of the population lives in unsecured houses constructed from mud, thatch and bamboo. They are annually affected by monsoons and cyclones, and most families cannot afford to repair the damage.
