Rural Housing

Bangladesh is one of the least developed countries in Southeast Asia having a large population, estimated at nearly 140 million living on an area of 122000 sq km. A large number of people do not have employment opportunities and the most of them are unskilled laborers who lack permanent job opportunities in the labour market. Due to their poverty, their houses are makeshift and can hardly withstand floods or tornadoes. The rural poor are virtually without proper shelter. Most of them live in thatched houses which can hardly withstand the vicissitudes of nature. Since the rural poor do not have enough resources in hand, they are unable to construct decent houses to live in. To improve their living conditions and secure the life of the poor people, RRF has taken the step to help the poor people to build house with the financial support of Bangladesh Bank's Grehayhn Tahabil.

Principle:
Shelter is a fundamental need of the human being and everyone is entitled to have an adequate house to live.
