Lower Level People's House



In Bangladeshi lower people who are suffering from house. This level of people could not able to build there own house, usually they live in the slum area.Most of them live in slums. They live in poverty. But they are part of our country and our life. We can change our poor peoples’ Destiny. Our rich people can help them beside some government activities. I know Bangladeshi people are very kind and well hearted. Please help the poor people and save our country from the poverty.


Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated countries with 150 million people, 49 percent of whom live below the national poverty line. In addition, child malnutrition rates of 48 percent are the second highest in the world, a condition that is tied to the low social status of women in Bangladeshi society.
Our Work

The Hunger Project has been active in Bangladesh since 1990 and is currently the country's largest volunteer-based organization covering all 64 districts.

The centerpiece of The Hunger Project's strategy is the training and ongoing support of more than 114,000 volunteer animators, 40 percent of whom are women, who organize mass action campaigns in their areas. The animators focus their actions in clusters of villages known as unions and work closely with the elected Union Parishad (local government bodies) members to encourage decentralization and increased access to resources. Union Parishads (UPs), which cover a population close to 20,000, are the unit of government closest to the people. UP-based initiatives include ensuring 100 percent sanitary latrine coverage, 100 percent birth and death registration, and open budget meetings to provide transparency and accountability.

The Hunger Project conducts trainings focused on gender issues and leadership to local women leaders in each area in which we work. These leaders then proceed to organize local meetings, lead workshops and initiate campaigns against early marriage and dowry, malnutrition, maternal and child mortality, gender discrimination, and inequality, illiteracy and corruption. In conjunction with our core strategies, The Hunger Project also works in the following capacities:
