Homes for Life

A roof that holds, walls that stay

and a home that lasts.

In Bangladesh, where floods claim homes each year,

a permanent house gives a woman and her children

shelter, safety, and somewhere that finally lasts.

— THE CRISIS

No Walls Strong Enough to Keep the Danger Out.

In Bangladesh, cyclones and floods leave women and children homeless again and again. Each storm season washing away what little they’ve managed to rebuild. Being exposed means danger, not just discomfort, especially after dark. A solid home of her own finally gives a family shelter that the water can’t take.

— OUR RESPONSE​

Homes for Life.

Four solid walls, a roof, and a future that truly lasts.

A Home for Life gives a woman and her children something poverty has always denied them: a permanent, safe place of their own. Built with local labour and materials made to last, it shelters a family from the weather, from the dangers of having nowhere safe to turn, and does so for generations to come.

— THE PROCESS

How We Build a Home.

Identify the Family

We find women and children enduring homelessness or unsafe, collapsing shelter. Assessing each family’s situation and land so every new home goes where it is needed most.

Build With Local Labour

Durable materials and local builders create a home designed to last for decades. Creating local jobs while every wall, roof and door is built to withstand the seasons.

Hand Over the Keys

A family receives a permanent, safe home of their own. Security that lasts a lifetime, a base where children can go to school and a mother can finally rest without fear.

Build a Lasting Home.

A permanent, safe home changes everything. For her, her children, and the generations that follow.
